The plot
The Problem of Thor Bridge
A wealthy American's wife has been shot dead on Thor Bridge. All the evidence points to the governess, who has been arrested for murder. The millionaire is certain she is innocent and begs Holmes to help. Holmes finds a strange clue tied to the bridge that changes everything.
Can he solve this seemingly impossible case and save an innocent woman?
The Adventure of the Priory School
The young son of a duke has been kidnapped from his boarding school. His German teacher has also disappeared. Holmes and Watson find bicycle tracks, footprints, and a dead body on the moor. But nothing is what it seems.
Who took the boy? And why won't the duke help the investigation?
The Adventure of the Abbey Grange
Lady Brackenstall says three burglars broke into her home, tied her up, and killed her husband. The police believe her story but Holmes notices that the evidence doesn't fit together correctly. He discovers the shocking truth about what really happened.
Now Holmes must make a difficult choice - should he tell the police everything he knows?

Biografie
Arthur Conan Doyle wurde 1859 im schottischen Edinburgh geboren. Seine Eltern waren beide strenge Katholiken, daher war es nicht verwunderlich, daß ihr Sohn eine Jesuitenschule besuchen mußte. Später studierte Doyle in Edinburgh Medizin und heiratete 1884 Louise Hawkins. Bis 1891 arbeitete er als Arzt in Hampshire. Danach widmete er sich ausschließlich dem Schreiben.§Während des Südafrikanischen Krieges (1899 bis 1902) diente er als Arzt in einem Feldlazarett. Im Jahr 1902 wurde er zum Ritter geschlagen. Nach dem Tod seines Sohnes, der den Folge einer Kriegsverletzung erlag, beschäftigte er sich mit okkultistischen Studien. Arthur Conan Doyle starb am 7. Juli 1930 in seinem Haus in Windlesham, Sussex.§1887 schuf er den wohl berühmtesten Detektiv der Weltliteratur: Sherlock Holmes, den Meister des rationell-analytischen Denkens. Die Figur Holmes überschattete Doyles literarisches Schaffen derart, dass der Autor seinen Protagonisten sterben ließ - und ihn knapp zehn Jahre später wiederauferstehen lassen musste: zu groß war die Popularität von Holmes und seinem Partner Dr. Watson.Mehr von Sir Arthur Cona...
