Originally published as a series in The Strand Magazine, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s second collection of Sherlock Holmes stories was originally intended to mark the final appearance of the brilliant detective. Holmes’ exceptional powers of observation and deduction are once more put to the test in these twelve adventures full of murder and intrigue, culminating in “The Final Problem”. After finally meeting his match in Professor James Moriarty, a nefarious criminal mastermind, Holmes must face off against his most dangerous nemesis yet.

Scottish writer and master storyteller Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born in 1859. As a medical student he was so impressed by his professor’s powers of deduction that he was inspired to create the illustrious and much-loved figure Sherlock Holmes. However in contrast to his scientific background, Conan Doyle became increasingly interested in spiritualism, leaving him keen to explore other fantastical elements in stories such as The Lost World.
