The Complete Sherlock Holmes
In most regions, the Sherlock Holmes stories are in the public domain, and several printed editions, with the title The Complete Sherlock Holmes or a similar title, contain all four novels and 56 stories by Arthur Conan Doyle. The complete works, known as “the canon” to Sherlock fans and experts, contain all the original adventure mysteries that challenge Holmes and Watson. These stories form the foundation for the modern crime genre and amply repay readers’ curiosity.
Nearly all the Sherlock Holmes stories are available online for free at gutenberg.org.
The Seven Percent Solution
Dozens of books by other authors continue the Sherlock Holmes tradition. Famous among them is a bestselling 1974 novel, The Seven-Per-Cent Solution by Nicholas Meyer, that tells of Holmes’s struggle with cocaine addiction, his sessions with Sigmund Freud, and his obsession with a version of Moriarty that might be a figment of his imagination. The book is the first in a series of Sherlock Holmes novels by Meyer; it was made into a film in 1976.
