About this audiobook
Watson, do you think you could bring your friend, Mr Sherlock Holmes, down to see me? My position at the Foreign Office seemed safe until this horrible disaster. I fear my career is ruined!
War becomes a real threat after a top-secret document is stolen from the Foreign Office. But why has the thief waited ten weeks to sell the treaty? Holmes and Watson are plunged into a world of international diplomacy only to find that danger can come from unexpected quarters.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a Scottish author best known for his classic detective fiction, although he wrote in many other genres including dramatic work, plays, and poetry. He began writing stories while studying medicine and published his first story in 1887. His Sherlock Holmes character is one of the most popular inventions of English literature, and has inspired films, stage adaptions, and literary adaptations for over 100 years.

Reviews for The Naval Treaty (Easy Classics)
3 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An old schoolfriend of Watson’s turns to Sherlock Holmes to clear his name after the disappearance of important papers in his custody. Percy Phelps was copying the treaty in his office after hours. He left his office for a few minutes to find the commissionaire, and when he returned, the treaty was missing. When all the other suspects were cleared, suspicion fell on Phelps, and he collapsed under the mental strain. His fiancée has been caring for him in the home she shares with her brother. Naturally, Holmes succeeds where others have failed, discovering the location of the missing treaty and thus restoring his client’s honor.I enjoyed the mix of national security and domestic elements in this story, and I like it better than Doyle’s later and similar story, “The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans.” The circumstances surrounding the missing treaty seem to be an unsolvable puzzle, yet it barely challenged Holmes’s powers of deduction. His explanation is so logical that it’s a wonder the solution wasn’t obvious to everyone!
