Doyle ranked "The Man with the Twisted Lip'' sixteenth in a list of his nineteen favourite Sherlock Holmes stories.Late at night, Kate Whitney, a friend of Dr. Watson's wife, calls on them. Her husband, Isa, has been absent for several days. Frantic with worry, she begs Dr. Watson to fetch him home from the opium den where he goes. Watson does this; but he also finds his friend Sherlock Holmes in the den, disguised as an old man, seeking for clues among the habitués of the place.The case involves Mr. Neville St. Clair, a prosperous, respectable, punctual man, who is missing. His family's home is in the country, but he visits London every day on business. One day when Mr. St. Clair was in London, Mrs. St. Clair also went to London separately. She happened to pass down Upper Swandam Lane, a "vile alley" near the London docks, where the opium den is. Glancing up, she saw her husband at a second-floor window of the opium den. He vanished from the window immediately, and Mrs. St. Clair was sure that there was something wrong.Famous works of the author Arthur Conan Doyle's: "A Study in Scarlet", "Silver Blaze", "The Hound of the Baskervilles", "The Yellow Face", "A Scandal in Bohemia", "The Red-Headed League", A Case of Identity", "The Boscombe Valley Mystery", "The Five Orange Pips", "The Man with the Twisted Lip", "The Blue Carbuncle", "The Speckled Band", "The Engineer's Thumb", "The Noble Bachelor", "The Beryl Coronet", "The Copper Beeches" and many more.

By looking at selected short stories from the famous Sherlock Holmes-canon, this book provides an analysis of two recurring main topics in Doyle's work: gender and race.

We are lead back in time, to India, and the disturbing origins of a group of children who call themselves 'the Irregulars'. Can this be the key to Sherlock Holme's identity? And who is the new, mysterious and cruel new player who has entered the London underworld? His signature is just theletter M. Meanwhile the emotions between Missy Hudson and John Watson are stirring, as a certain Mary Morstan comes knocking at their door on Baker Street. Listen to the second installment of the Becoming Sherlock series. What listeners have said: - 'As good as the previous novel Twisting plot. Excellent narration. This second novel builds on the characterisations of the first and fleshes out some of the 'Sherlock' backstory. However, it leaves enough unexplained to make you want to move on to novel number three.' - 'Excellent narration and brought new dimensions to familiar characters I enjoyed the other Anthony Horowitz takes on Sherlock, Moriarty and the House of Silk were both very good and different in their own right. This again is familiar but different.' - 'Riveting Hope there is a book 3 as I will be very disappointed if I cannot hear more of these dystopian adventures' - 'A very clever concept perfectly executed. This is clever stuff. Apocalyptic London. Re-imagined Watson & Holmes. A solid storyline. Intriguing characters. Hugely enjoyed both the books in this series. More please.'

Sherlock Holmes is a fictional detective of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, who first appeared in publication in 1887. He is the creation of Scottish born author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A brilliant London-based detective, Holmes is famous for his intellectual prowess, and is renowned for his skillful use of deductive reasoning (somewhat mistakenly - see inductive reasoning) and astute observation to solve difficult cases. He is arguably the most famous fictional detective ever created, and is one of the best known and most universally recognizable literary characters in any genre. Conan Doyle wrote four novels and fifty-six short stories that featured Holmes. All but four stories were narrated by Holmes' friend and biographer, Dr. John H. Watson, two having been narrated by Holmes himself, and two others written in the third person. The first two stories, short novels, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual for 1887 and Lippincott's Monthly Magazine in 1890. The character grew tremendously in popularity with the beginning of the first series of short stories in The Strand Magazine in 1891; further series of short stories and two serialized novels appeared almost right up to Conan Doyle's death in 1930. The stories cover a period from around 1878 up to 1903, with a final case in 1914.
