The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes

"He is the Napoleon of Crime...He is the organizer of half that is evil and of nearly all that is undetected in this great city." A man like Sherlock Holmes has many enemies. Violent murderers, deviant villains, ghosts of old loves, blackmailers and poisonous scribes, to to name but a few. But none are so deadly, so powerful, as Professor Moriarty. Moriarty - the only man who can compete with Holmes' genius, the first great criminal mastermind. The only man who can, perhaps, ultimately defeat the great detective ... Another collection of short stories, the 12 stories were similarly published over the course of a year from 1892 to 1893 in The Strand Magazine. Conan Doyle had decided that this would be the last of the Holmes stories, intending to kill off his bestselling character.
