London: George Newnes, Ltd., 1902. Souvenir Edition. An attractive copy of the second Sherlock Holmes novel, which makes use of the Thames in an unforgettable manner, and the detection is more active than in A Study in Scarlet – as well as fraught with danger. For one thing, Watson succumbs to the charms of Miss Morstan, and for another the two detectives are nearly disposed of by Tonga, the Andaman Islander Barzun
