«The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes» is the volume of detective stories by Arthur Conan Doyle that also includes the cases from His Last Bow, in paperback.
It brings together the twelve last stories Arthur Conan Doyle wrote about Sherlock Holmes, along with the cases from His Last Bow.

The final story shows Holmes leaving retirement to foil a German plot on the eve of the First World War.
It belongs to the Sherlock Holmes series, in which it appears as the ninth installment. Includes an introduction by David Stuart Davies.
For readers of mystery classics and followers of Sherlock Holmes who want the detective's last cases.
Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was a British writer and physician. He is best known for his four novels and fifty-six short stories about the fictional consulting detective Sherlock Holmes and his assistant Dr. Watson, which are milestones in crime fiction, and for his first work featuring Professor Challenger, The Lost World (1912), which gave its name to a subgenre of speculative fiction. He was a prolific writer who produced over 200 stories and articles, four volumes of poetry, and a number of works for the stage. He was knighted by King Edward VII in the 1902 Coronation Honours.
