En 1908, délaissé par son créateur plus de trois ans durant, Sherlock Holmes reprend du service dans L'Aventure de Wisteria Lodge. Sept autres enquêtes voient le jour jusqu'en 1917, et notamment Son dernier coup d'archet, la première à n'être pas racontée par le Dr Watson. Mais aussi la
seconde tentative de Conan Doyle pour se défaire, en vain, du célèbre détective en l'envoyant à la retraite... dont il ne tardera pas à sortir!

About the author

Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a Scottish writer and physician. He created the character Sherlock Holmes in 1887 for A Study in Scarlet, the first of four novels and fifty-six short stories about Holmes and Dr. Watson. The Sherlock Holmes stories are milestones in the field of crime fiction.

Doyle was a prolific writer. In addition to the Holmes stories, his works include fantasy and science fiction stories about Professor Challenger, and humorous stories about the Napoleonic soldier Brigadier Gerard, as well as plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction, and historical novels. One of Doyle's early short stories, "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement" (1884), helped to popularise the mystery of the brigantine Mary Celeste, found drifting at sea with no crew member aboard.
