"He sits motionless, like a spider in the center of its web, but that web has a thousand radiations, and he knows well every quiver of each of them. He does little himself. He only plans."
The disappearance of a famous race horse, a kidnapped Greek interpreter, and a violent struggle on Reichenbach Falls all these and more make up the next twelve stories in the Sherlock Holmes casebook. Accompanied by his friend John Watson, the world's most famous consulting detective faces an unknown foe whose devious schemes often end in tragedy.
In this second collection of short stories, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes introduces Sherlock Holmes' nemesis the criminal mastermind Professor Moriarty. Originally intending to kill off his main character at the end of the series, public outcry caused Arthur Conan Doyle to reconsider and continue writing about the adventures of Holmes and Watson.
