I also enjoy the Sherlock Holmes stories.
I can recommend "The Extraordinary Adventures of Arsene Lupin, Gentleman-Burglar" written by Maurice Leblanc. You can get that for free at Gutenberg and I assume here at MR too. Arsene Lupin can be considered as a counterpart to Sherlock Holmes, he is a "thief", however he is a gentleman with manner at the same time. Sherlock Holmes even appears in the books, where they are competing against each other.
