Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes - Unabridged

In "e;The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes,"e; Sir Arthur Conan Doyle attempted a feat that even the greatest criminal minds in England could not accomplish: He tried to kill off Sherlock Holmes. (And he very nearly succeeded.) Doyle's 1894 collection of short stories - which featured some of the most enoyable tales in the Holmes canon, including "e;Silver Blaze,"e; "e;The Musgrave Ritual"e; and "e;The Crooked Man"e; - concludes with what was meant to be the last Sherlock Holmes story, "e;The Final Problem."e; In this narrative, Holmes finally comes face to face with his arch-nemesis, the cunning and cruel Professor Moriarty and, in a thrilling climax, both men confront each other, come to blows and plunge to their respective deaths over the Reichenbach Falls. (Holmes would be miraculously brought back to life in "e;The Adventure of the Empty House"e; in 1903.) An essential collection for any serious Holmes fans, "e;The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes"e; is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
