The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of Sherlock Holmes stories, originally published in 1893, by Arthur Conan Doyle. Doyle had decided that these would be the last collection of Holmes's stories, and intended to kill him off in "The Final Problem". Reader demand stimulated him to write another Holmes adventure—The Hound of the Baskervilles. In "The Return of Sherlock Holmes", Holmes relates the aftermath of "The Final Problem", and how he survived. It contains eleven classic tales of deduction: Silver Blaze • The Yellow Face • The Stock-Broker's Clerk • The Gloria Scott • The Musgrave Ritual • The Reigate Puzzle • The Crooked Man • The Resident Patient • The Greek Interpreter • The Naval Treaty • The Final Problem.
