A woman is dying - a sudden and mysterious death in the middle of the night - and her last words are a blood-curdling shriek about a "speckled band." What does it mean? And how did she die? No one can figure it out...no one, that is, until Sherlock Holmes comes on the scene...
The Best of Sherlock Holmes contains the baffling case of "The Adventure of the Speckled Band," and five other famous mysteries - all solved brilliantly by the incomparable Mr. Holmes.
