The Return of Sherlock Holmes: The Case Notes

Written by his trusted friend and companion, Dr John Watson, The Return of Sherlock Holmes: The Case Notes chronicles nine of the most fascinating cases solved by the world's most famous detective. Based on the many notes and evidence gathered during the course of Sherlock Holmes's investigations, this fantastic collection is painstakingly presented as a scrapbook by Dr Watson.

In these pages, you'll discover newspaper articles, sketches and maps that were crucial to solving the cases, with each item reproduced as a historical artefact, complete with tears, stains, foldmarks and insightful annotations written by Watson. Fifteen of these items are secured within special glassine 'evidence bags' for easy removal and careful study by the reader.

• A detailed map showing where Sherlock Holmes has been since his supposed death at the Reichenbach Falls;
• The handwritten will of Jonas Oldacre that featured in the case of the 'Norwood Builder';
• The newspaper advertisement that Holmes placed to lure in the killer of Captain Peter Carey in the case of 'Black Peter'.
