<DIV><B>The immortal Sherlock Holmes solves eleven unforgettable mysteries</B><BR /><BR />These stories, originally published in the <I>Strand Magazine</I>, follow Holmes from the astonishing heights of his deductive powers to the bottom of a treacherous gorge in Switzerland. &ldquo;Silver Blaze,&rdquo; a case that famously hinges on the &ldquo;curious incident of the dog in the night-time,&rdquo; finds the detective employing his singular imagination to locate a missing racehorse. In &ldquo;The Greek Interpreter,&rdquo; Holmes and his brilliant older brother, Mycroft, team up to put an end to a diabolical extortion scheme. And, most notoriously, criminal mastermind Professor Moriarty makes his first appearance in &ldquo;The Final Problem,&rdquo; a story that begins with the discovery of a secret criminal organization overtaking England, and ends on a cliff overlooking the Reichenbach Falls. With a heavy heart, Dr. Watson tells the world what no one wants to hear: Holmes and his archenemy have plunged to their deaths together, locked in mortal combat.<BR />&#160;<BR />This legendary collection, which Arthur Conan Doyle intended to bring a fitting end to the Sherlock Holmes saga, also includes &ldquo;The Musgrave Ritual,&rdquo; &ldquo;The Reigate Puzzle,&rdquo; &ldquo;The Crooked Man,&rdquo; and &ldquo;The Resident Patient.&rdquo; Each of these eleven stories is now recognized as a masterpiece of crime fiction, and a clear indication that the peerless sleuth was not yet ready to leave the stage for good.<BR />&#160;<BR />This ebook features a new introduction by Otto Penzler and&#160;has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.<BR />&#160;</DIV>
