The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, father of crime fiction, offers us another dozen short stories featuring master detective Sherlock Holmes. Famous for his intellectual prowess, his keen observation skills, and for giving Robert Downey Jr. his second blockbuster in as many years, Mr. Holmes is everybody's favorite detective. These stories are a dozen of the 56 featuring Sherlock, and some of the best Doyle wrote:

• "Silver Blaze" 
  
• "The Adventure of the Cardboard Box" 
  
• "The Adventure of the Yellow Face" 
  
• "The Stockbroker's Clerk" 
  
• "The Gloria Scott" 
  
• "The Musgrave Ritual" 
  
• "The Adventure of the Reigate Squire" 
  
• "The Adventure of the Crooked Man" 
  
• "The Resident Patient" 
  
• "The Greek Interpreter" 
  
• "The Naval Treaty" 
  
• "The Final Problem"
  

The influence of Doyle's character, who makes large conclusions from minute observational details, is a permanent part of the entertainment landscape. Where would CSI Miami be without the inimitable detective Holmes?
