His Last Bow

His Last Bow is a story by Arthur Conan Doyle. It is another one of Sherlock and Watson's adventure. It is considered a remarkable story for many reasons. The narration is in the third person, instead of the first person narration usually provided by the character of Dr. Watson, and it is a spy story, rather than a detective mystery. Sherlock Holmes is brought out of retirement to help the Government fight the German threat at the approach of the First World War. The Prime Minister himself requests Holmes's services to hunt down the remarkable German agent, Von Bork.
