Sherlock Holmes halála és feltámadása
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle skót író, aki leginkább Sherlock Holmesról szóló detektívregényei és elbeszélései miatt ismert. Ezek első sorozatával szenzációs sikert aratott, valósággal egybeforrasztotta Conan Doyle és Sherlock Holmes nevét, pedig az író már pályájának eme szakaszában is igyekezett minél több műfajban kiemelkedőt alkotni, hisz a kalandos históriák mellett a történelem is vonzotta.
Egy alkalommal ezt írta: ,,Erősen gondolkodom Holmes meggyilkolásán... Nem hagy fontosabb dolgokon elmélkedni." Idővel így is tett - hogy a ,,fontosabb" dolgokra (történelmi regényeire) koncentrálhasson -, és a detektívet legfőbb ellenségével, a bűnözőzseni Moriarty professzorral együtt elveszejtette.
A közönség reakciója azonban nagyon meglepte. A kétségbeesett olvasók elkeseredett leveleket írtak a The Strand Magazine-nak, ahol az írások addig megjelentek. A magazin szörnyű csapást szenvedett el, amikor tiltakozásul húszezer ember lemondta az előfizetését. A legenda szerint a londoniak annyira megrendültek Holmes halálhíre hallatán, hogy fekete karszalagot viseltek. Maga Doyle is számos tiltakozó levelet kapott, s e levéláradatnak köszönhetően egy frappáns megoldással visszahozta hősét.
A kötet Holmes és legnagyobb ellensége Moriarty professzor élet-halál harcához kapcsolódó elbeszélések gyűjteménye.
Žobrák z náhody
„Brat nebohého Eliáša Whitneya, správcu teologického ústavu svätého Jura v L., Isa, bol v moci strašnej vášne: fajčil opium. Po dlhšom čase sa presvedčil, že je omnoho ľahšie privyknúť na dačo, ako odvyknúť; a tak sa stal otrokom tohoto jedu. Jeho priatelia a rodina sa hrozily nad tým a ľutovali ho. Zrazu ale záhadne zmizol…“ A úloha objasniť záhadu pripadla Sherlockovi Holmesovi. Detektívka zo Zlatého fondu SME.

Strakatý pás
„Je mnoho prípadov smutných, mnoho smiešnych, mnoho len zvláštnych, ale ani jeden každodenný. Lebo Holmes, poneváč pracoval z lásky ku svojmu umeniu, a nie aby si nadobudnul majetok, sa nikdy nechcel pustiť do riešenia prípadu, ak videl, že z neho nevyjde dačo neobyčajného.“ Detektívka zo Zlatého fondu SME.
