Book description
'If I were assured of your eventual destruction I would, in the
interests of the public, cheerfully accept my own.'
In The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, the consulting detective's
notoriety as the arch-despoiler of the schemes concocted by the
criminal underworld at last gets the better of him.
Though Holmes and his faithful sidekick Dr Watson solve what will
become some of their most bizarre and extraordinary cases - the
disappearance of the race horse Silver Blaze, the horrific
circumstances of the Greek Interpreter and the curious mystery of the
Musgrave Ritual among them - a criminal mastermind is plotting the
downfall of the great detective.
Half-devil, half-genius, Professor Moriarty leads Holmes and Watson
on a grisly cat-and-mouse chase through London and across Europe,
culminating in a frightful struggle which will turn the legendary
Reichenbach Falls into a water double-grave . . .
