The plot
The Adventure of the Speckled Band
A terrified young woman comes to Holmes early one morning. Her sister died two years ago in a locked room, and her last words were "the speckled band!"
Now the woman must sleep in the same room, and she hears the same strange whistling sound at night that her sister heard before she died.
Holmes and Watson must spend a night in the deadly room to discover the truth. What is the speckled band?
The Adventure of the Solitary Cyclist
A young music teacher is being followed by a mysterious man on a bicycle every time she rides home from work. She doesn't know who he is or what he wants.
Strange things are happening around her - her employer is acting oddly, and a man has proposed marriage to her even though they barely know each other.
Holmes investigates, but when he returns to check on her, she has disappeared. Can he find her before it's too late?
The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb
A young engineer arrives at Watson's house in the middle of the night - his thumb has been cut off! He tells an incredible story about a job offer that turned into a nightmare.
He was hired to examine a machine in a remote house, but discovered something criminal was happening. When he tried to escape, someone tried to kill him.
Holmes realizes a dangerous gang is operating nearby. Can he find them before they disappear forever?

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...
