The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes is the final set of twelve (out of a total of fifty-six) Sherlock Holmes short stories by Arthur Conan Doyle first published in the Strand Magazine between October 1921 and April 1927. They reflect the disillusioned world of the 1920s in which they were written, and he can be seen to take advantage of the new, more open conventions in fiction. Suicide as a murder weapon and homosexual incest are some of the psychological tragedies whose consequences are unravelled by mind of Sherlock Holmes before the eyes of Watson.
