Conan Doyle had killed Holmes off and public demand brought him back. The collection opens with The Empty House, which explains the three years since Reichenbach, and continues through thirteen cases including The Dancing Men and The Six Napoleons.

The stories are darker and more assured than the early ones, written by an author who had stopped resisting his own creation.
