Publisher Description
In "The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes," 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 "Silver Blaze," "The Musgrave Ritual" and "The Crooked Man" - concludes with what was meant to be the last Sherlock Holmes story, "The Final Problem." In this narrative (spoiler alert!), 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 "The Adventure of the Empty House" in 1903.)
An essential collection for any serious Holmes fans, "The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes" is presented here in its original and unabridged format.

About Arthur Conan Doyle
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was born of Irish parentage in Scotland. He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, but he also had a passion for storytelling. His first book introduced that prototype of the modern detective in fiction, Sherlock Holmes. Despite the immense popularity Holmes gained throughout the world, Doyle was not overly fond of the character and preferred to write other stories. Eventually popular demand won out and he continued to satisfy readers with the adventures of the legendary sleuth. He also wrote historical romances and made two essays into pseudoscientific fantasy: The Lost World and The Poison Belt.
About Kevin Theis
Emily Brontë (1818–1848), sister of Anne and Charlotte, published only one novel in her career, Wuthering Heights. Though she died just one year after its publication and never knew of its success, the story of doomed love and revenge went on to earn its place among the masterpieces of English literature.
