The Case-book contains the last stories Conan Doyle wrote featuring Sherlock Holmes and the ever faithful Watson.

Two men claim the name and estate of Sir John Farnleigh. A third man can prove which is the imposter, but is he a logical candidate for murder? Dr Gideon Fell investigates this and other secrets at Farnleigh Court.

In 1880 a young medical student named Arthur Conan Doyle embarked upon an adventure, taking a berth as ship’s surgeon on an Arctic whaler, the Hope. The voyage took him to unknown regions, showered him with dramatic and unexpected experiences, and plunged him into dangerous work on the ice floes of the Arctic seas.

Dr Watson believed that Sherlock Holmes had died at Reichenbach Falls. To Watson's surprise and delight he reappears three years later and the pair are soon at work in search of London's second most dangerous man.

Romance, chivalry, battles and brutality are all present as the hero, Sir Nigel Loring, and his attendant, Aylward, seek their fortunes in England and France in the early years of the Hundred Years War.

Continuing the adventures of Sir Nigel Loring and The White Company, a group of English mercenaries he leads through France in the Hundred Years War. Sequel to 'Sir Nigel' (6138).
