"För Sherlock Holmes är hon den enda kvinna i världen: han kallar henne alltid endast »hon». Jag har aldrig hört honom ge henne någon annan benämning. I hans ögon står hon högt över sina medsystrar hon fördunklar alla och en var av hela sitt kön. Jag tror ej, att han för Irene Adler erfarit någon slags känsla, liknande kärlek; alla känslor och sinnesrörelser kärlek i synnerhet voro främmande för hans kalla, bestämda och utomordentligt väl avvägda karaktär." Bland dessa tolv noveller finns några av de mest kända fall som detektiven Sherlock Holmes och hans vän doktor Watson tar sig an. Såsom "En skandal i Böhmen", där Sherlock Holmes försöker hjälpa kungen av Böhmen att undvika en komprometterande situation och för första gången möter sin like. Och "De fem apelsinkärnorna", som är en av författarens personliga favoriter av novellerna han skrivit om den ofattbart begåvade brottsbekämparen.-
