The Return of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of 13 Sherlock Holmes stories, originally published in 1903-1904, by Arthur Conan Doyle. The stories were published in the Strand Magazine in Great Britain, and Collier's in the United States. The book was first published in February 1905 by McClure, Phillips & Co. (New York) then on 7 March 1905 by Georges Newnes, Ltd. (London) and was the first Holmes collection since 1893, when Holmes had "died" in "The Final Problem".

Am 6. Dezember sollte im White Hart Lane Stadion das Freundschaftsspiel England gegen Frankreich stattfinden. Während Dr. Watson und Eddy Miller dem Fußballmatch schon zwei Tage zuvor entgegenfieberten, hielt Holmes dies für pure Zeitverschwendung. Dies änderte sich schlagartig, als der belgische Schiedsrichter John Langenus Holmes um seine Hilfe bat. Seine Tochter wurde entführt und um seine Lizzy wieder wohlbehalten zurück zu bekommen, verlangte der Täter Manipulation am kommenden Spiel.

Nachdem Eddy Miller nach dem manipulierten Fußballspiel, England gegen Frankreich, von Mr. Patel entführt wurde, beschlossen Holmes, Watson und Alice, wiederum dessen Tochter, nicht, wie zuerst angedacht, Scotland Yard zu übergeben, sondern sie mit in die Baker Street zu nehmen und sie selbst zu befragen. Da sich die junge Ms. Patel allerdings als äußerst stur entpuppte, brachte man sie in der einstigen Dachkammer von Ms. Adler unter. Ein tragischer Vorfall verhinderte jedoch alle weiteren, geplanten Verhöre.

Es war ein kalter, windiger Spätnachmittag im November als ein gewisser Joseph Foxwell Sherlock Holmes und Dr. Watson um Hilfe bat. Dies viel ihm sichtlich schwer, da er damit sich selbst eines geplanten Verbrechens schuldig machte. Vor über 21 Jahren schrieb Foxwell einem Freund in New York und bat diesen um einen Auftragsmord betreffend seinen Parteikollegen Ramsay McDonald, den heutigen Premierminister. Gott sei Dank ging dieser Brief zusammen mit der Titanic unter und erreichte somit niemals sein Ziel. Doch heute, über 21 Jahre später, wurde er genau damit erpresst.

Sherlock Holmes und Dr. Watson wurden von den Millers, eines Nachmittags im September, eingeladen, sie in den Chipperfield's Circus zu begleiten. Nach der Vorstellung, die alle, bis auf Holmes begeisterte, machte sich jedoch Panik breit. Die Wahrsagerin, Madame Eloise, wurde tot in ihrem Zelt aufgefunden. Nachdem die ersten Befragungen nichts ergaben, es jedoch gleich darauf den nächsten Mordfall gab, bat Inspektor Wolfford schließlich doch Holmes um Hilfe. Und der Meisterdetektiv hatte seine ganz eigene Idee um den Täter auf die Schliche zu kommen.

In Begleitung der Watsons reist Sir Henry in die bedrohliche Moorlandschaft, in der er sein Erbe als Gutsherr von Baskerville antreten soll. Tatsächlich werden sie bald Zeugen unheimlicher Ereignisse und als wäre der Geisterhund nicht Bedrohung genug, erfahren sie bald, dass sich der entflohene Mörder Selden in der Gegend aufhalten soll. Die Inspiration für seinen Roman erlangte Arthur Conan Doyle als er an Typhus erkrankt eine Reise nach Norfolk unternahm, wo er faszinierende Geschichten aus den Mooren von Dartmoor zu hören bekam.
