Summary

• [Sherlock Holmes: a study in scarlet]: Members of an underground crime ring are being murdered. Holmes' investigation leads him to the beautiful Mrs. Pyke and to a stately ancestral home -- complete with screams in the foggy night, cloaked figures moving through secret passages, and a sinister Asian butler. The story bears little resemblance to the original A. Conan Doyle mystery
• [Sherlock Holmes and the secret weapon]: Starting in Switzerland, Sherlock Holmes rescues the inventor of a bomb-sight which the allies want to keep from the Nazis. Back in London it seems that the inventor is not all that he seemed
• [Sherlock Holmes: terror by night]: Holmes is hired by Roland Carstairs to prevent the theft of the Star of Rhodesia, an enormous diamond owned by Carstairs' mother, Lady Margaret. Believing the diamond will be stolen on a train trip from London to Edinburgh, Holmes deftly switches diamonds with Lady Margaret while in her compartment. Soon after, Roland is murdered and the fake diamond is stolen. Red herrings abound as Holmes, aided by Dr. Watson and Inspector Lestrade, discover the murderer's hiding place and deduce that long-time foe Moriarty's henchman Colonel Sebastian Moran is somehow involved in the crime
• [Sherlock Holmes: dressed to kill]: A convicted thief in Dartmoor prison hides the location of the stolen Bank of England printing plates inside three music boxes. When the innocent purchasers of the boxes start to be murdered, Holmes and Watson investigate
