Publisher's Synopsis
Classics for Your Collection: goo.gl/U80LCr --------- Another series of the adventures of Sherlock Holmes as reported by his faithful biographer Dr. Watson This collection provides a rare treat for the reader in that we learn more about the detective and his early life and connections than has previously been the case. Of course one can't leave off of this volume without the "The Final Problem" the story in which Holmes' greatest adversary Moriarty, the Napoleon of Crime, is born. Doyle had grown weary of the public clamour for more tales of his peerless sleuth and decided it was time to end it so that he could concentrate on other characters and stories. Well, as it turns out this was not to be, but what resulted was an exciting tale in which Holmes finds himself pitted against the greatest adversary of his voluminous career. After months of playing cat-and-mouse with Moriarty and his insidious league of crime Holmes finally has gathered the pieces he needs to crush the vast criminal organization and its most dangerous leader. Moriarty, of course, is not likely to take such a possibility lying down and thus we have a final chase across London and Switzerland that ends in (view spoiler) Watson's final realization of what has happened to his friend is moving, as is the typically dry (though sincere) letter which Holmes leaves for him on the edge of Reichenbach Falls.
