Here is another nail-biting collection of a dozen episodes of Sherlock Holmes in continuation with the Adventures of the gifted sleuth. As in any mind-boggling case that Holmes pursues, there is deep intrigue, savage deceit, incredible hoaxes and cold-blooded murder; all of which are as baffling as they are fascinating. Each narrative becomes thoroughly enjoyable when Sherlock Holmes incisively probes every lead however insignificant, to uncover the mystery.
Of special significance to the millions of Sherlock Holmes fans is the last encounter of our hero with the dreaded villain professor Moriarty, in which Holmes supposedly perishes. It is another matter that under intense pressure from the enraged and protesting readers, Sherlock Holmes had to be resurrected a decade later, in The Return of Sherlock Holmes.
Arthur Conan Doyle
An exceptionally talented storyteller, Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in May 1859. Doyle began writing while studying at the University of Edinburgh Medical School, which he joined in 1876. Doyle graduated in 1881 and was employed as a surgeon on the steamer Mayumba on its voyage to the West African coast. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was most noted for creating the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes and writing stories about him which are generally considered milestones in the field of crime fiction. Pointing out the social injustices, Holmes offers a new and just approach in a world which is unfair. Sherlock Holmes, the most well-known fictional detective, has been listed with Guinness World Records as the “most portrayed movie character” in history.
Doyle died of a heart attack in July 1930, aged seventy-one.
