The Purity of the Turf and Other Sherlock Holmes Stories

In The Purity of the Turf, Holmes and Watson encounter criminals that would confound any other detection team, from smugglers and international spies to a very early copycat killer in the days when newspapers were the only true mass media. These stories span Holmes' career from his work as a consulting detective far from the scene of the crime to his affinity for being right in the middle of the action, and even include encounters with G.K. Chesterton's famed sleuth Father Brown.
