Doyle's return to Holmes in 1901-2 was marked by \"The Hound of the Baskervilles,\" a novel set before the events of \"The Final Problem.\" The commercial success of the serialization in the Strand Magazine prompted Doyle to contemplate reviving the Holmes stories on a more enduring basis. As a result, in 1903, he was contracted by the American magazine Collier's Weekly to supply six additional Holmes stories. This agreement was subsequently extended to six more, culminating in a thirteenth story, \"The Second Stain,\" which Doyle mistakenly believed to be the concluding episode of the Holmes adventures. These thirteen captivating tales form the essence of this remarkable volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 320g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 128 x 197 x 33 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780198856702\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arthur Conan Doyle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44115515375866,"sku":"9780198856702","price":5.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1679471705898_book.jpg?v=1679771939","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-return-of-sherlock-holmes-9780198856702","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
