Publisher's Synopsis
Race fixing and murder are on the cards in 'Silver Blaze' as the brilliant and quirky Sherlock Holmes sifts his way through a vast array of alternative suspects and motives to uncover the real killer of John Stroker. Then, in 'The Naval Treaty', Holmes is seen to embark upon a rare foray into affairs of state. But it is the last story in the collection, 'The Final Problem', that is the most chilling. The hitherto invincible sleuth finally meets his nemesis, arch-villain Professor Moriarty, in the tragic showdown at the Reichenbach Falls.
