Sherlock and Hercule: A British Mystery Primer

A great introduction to classic British mysteries, this volume contains the first books that feature two of the most famous detectives in history: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's A Study in Scarlet introduces Sherlock Holmes (and his sidekick Dr. John Watson), and Dame Agatha Christie's The Mysterious Affair at Styles introduces Hercules Poirot.
With a fresh cover treatment, this British mystery primer will surely attract a new generation of mystery readers, especially those who are only familiar with the recent incarnations of the Sherlock Holmes character on the big and small screens.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a British mystery writer, whose characters, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson, are world renowned and continually being reimagined for the big and small screens.
