Description
This novel begins with a retired Holmes in the English countryside, more interested in beekeeping than solving cases. Only the imminent war with Germany will bring Holmes out of his voluntary retirement, who will put all his ingenuity and skills at the service of his country. These seven stories show us how the brilliant tenant of 221B Baker Street adapts to a changing world, without losing the ability to delight readers.
