‘Time and time again generations have shown that they need Holmes’ Stephen Fry. It begins with an urgent note: ‘Come at once if convenient — if inconvenient come all the same . . .’ Watson cannot refuse, and before long he and Holmes are deep in the baffling case of an elderly professor whose sudden and alarming change in behaviour has unsettled everyone around him — his daughter, her fiancé, even the family dog. This curious investigation is one of twelve in The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, the final collection of the great detective’s adventures, gathering together the cases that left clients bewildered and the police at a loss, and proving once again that no puzzle is beyond Holmes and Watson’s formidable partnership.
