In 'The Dying Detective,' Sherlock Holmes comes close to death, or so his long-suffering colleague, Dr. Watson, thinks. In 'The Assassins' Club,' a murder occurs at a dinner table full of crime novelists. 'The Case of the Tragedies of the Greek Room' features eccentric detective Morris Klaw trying to solve an especially perplexing locked-room mystery. This classic collection, read by Edward Hardwicke, the original Dr. Watson in the classic TV series, brings together the cream of the crop in detective fiction.
