Holmes needs a foil. And thus a great collaboration begins. Watson and Holmes move to a now-famous address, 221B Baker Street, where Watson is introduced to Holmes's eccentricities as well as his ability to deduce information about his fellow beings. Somewhat shaken by Holmes's egotism, Watson is nonetheless dazzled by his seemingly magical recall skills. Then murder. Facing a deserted house, a twisted corpse with no wounds, a mysterious phrase drawn in blood on the wall, and the buffoons of Scotland Yard--Lestrade and Gregson--Holmes measures, observes, picks up a pinch of this and a pinch of that, and generally baffles his faithful Watson. Later, Holmes explains: \"In solving a problem of this sort, the grand thing is to be able to reason backward.... There are few people who, if you told them a result, would be able to evolve from their own inner consciousness what the steps were which led up to that result.\" Holmes is in that elite group. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAUDIO BOOKS \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlso included are links to free full-length audio recordings of the following 21 mystery classics: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Study in Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle \u003cbr\u003eThe Borough Treasurer by J.
