With deductive reasoning and scientific inquiry, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson continue to solve unsolvable crimes in this collection of short stories, which includes one of the author's favourite stories, "The Adventure of the Devil's Foot."
Although the majority of the tales in His Last Bow were written and published prior to the First World War, Arthur Conan Doyle penned one final story prior to publication, "His Last Bow. The War Service of Sherlock Holmes," which is believed to be based on the author's experience during the war.
