Presented here are the final three books of the Sherlock Holmes canon: the novel "The Valley of Fear" and two short story collections: "The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes" and "His Last Bow," all penned by Holmes' legendary creator, the great Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Despite Doyle's attempt to kill off his world-famous detective years earlier, Doyle here - decades later - finally brings Sherlock Holmes' adventures to a close. First, we present the stories collected in "Case-Book," including the thriller "The Adventure of the Three Garridebs" and the haunting "Adventure of the Sussex Vampire." Next, the flashback novel "The Valley of Fear," in which Holmes grapples with his arch-nemesis - the Napoleon of Crime himself - Professor Moriarty. Then, at last, Holmes' swan song in which he comes out of retirement during World War I to assist his country one final time to help in the war effort and keep the German army at bay. With these volumes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle finally brings the adventures of the greatest detective in fiction - Mr. Sherlock Holmes - to an end. These three books are presented here in their original and unabridged format.Show book
