    "Han er forbrydelsens Napoleon, Watson ... Han sidder ubevægelig, som en edderkop midt i sit spind, men dette spind består af tusindvis af tråde, og han er bevidst om selv den mindste bevægelse i enhver af dem."I "over tusind sager" har Sherlock Holmes bekæmpet ondskab og kriminalitet og sørget for, at de skyldige blev bragt bag lås og slå. Men den største skurk af dem alle, en højt begavet mand, hvis hånd Holmes har anet bag en stor del af forbrydelserne, er hidtil undsluppet ham: Professor Moriarty. Holmes har dog langsomt arbejdet sig ind på ham, og nu er tiden kommet, hvor de to store modstandere endelig må krydse klinger.I sine "Erindringer om Sherlock Holmes" beretter dr. Watson om dette store og skæbnesvangre opgør. Om dette og om andre af vennen og mesterdetektivens store sager – mysteriet om den forsvundne væddeløbshest Silver Blaze, gåden om Musgraveritualet og mange, mange flere.Den nye komplette Sherlock Holmes-udgave består af ni bind svarende til de ni originale bøger. Bøgerne er forsynet med forord og noter og udstyret med originalillustrationer. Udgivelsen sker under vejledning af cand.mag. Svend Ranild, forfatter og Sherlock Holmes-kender.Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle (1859-1930) var uddannet læge, men begyndte tidligt at skrive og forlod efterhånden lægegerningen helt til fordel for forfatterkarrieren. Doyle skrev i mange genrer – historiske romaner, science-fiction, eventyrromaner og nonfiktion – men det var historierne om mesterdetektiven Sherlock Holmes, der slog hans navn fast ogblev hans eviggyldige bidrag til verdenslitteraturhistorien.
