The Adventure of the Illustrious Client

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of detective Sherlock Holmes, is the father of crime fiction. 'The Adventure of the Illustrious Client' – first published in 1927 in The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes – is one of his most underrated tales. Many of the earliest and most interesting vampire stories, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
