'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...

'There should be no combination of events for which the wit of man cannot conceive an explanation'. In this tale drawn from the note books of Dr Watson, the deadly hand of Professor Moriarty once more reaches out to commit a vile and ingenious crime. However, a mole in Moriarty's frightening criminal organization alerts Sherlock Holmes of the evil deed by means of a cipher. When Holmes and Watson arrive at a Sussex manor house they appear to be too late. The discovery of a body suggests that Moriarty's henchmen have been at their work. But there is much more to this tale of murder than at first meets the eye and Sherlock Holmes is determined to get to the bottom of it.

'When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth'. In this, the final collection of Sherlock Holmes adventures, the intrepid detective and his faithful companion Dr Watson examine and solve twelve cases that puzzle clients, baffle the police and provide readers with the thrill of the chase. These mysteries - involving an illustrious client and a Sussex vampire; the problems of Thor Bridge and of the Lions Mane; a creeping man and the three-gabled house - all test the bravery of Dr Watson and the brilliant mind of Mr Sherlock Homes, the greatest detective we have ever known.

Sherlock Holmesen abenturak Conan Doyleren obra zabalaren lanik ezagunena da. 1891ean Strand aldizkarian atalka argitaratzen hasi zen, eta 1892an 12 abentura biltzen zituen liburua argitaratu zen. Egilearen arrakasta narrazio laburren forma aukeratzean datza. Horietan, detektibe baten behaketa- eta ondorioztapen-gaitasun paregabea nabarmentzen da.

Los protagonistas de este libro son dos héroes de su tiempo (el escritor Arthur Conan Doyle y el ilusionista Harry Houdini) y narra uno de los capítulos más singulares e inquietantes del siglo veinte. Doyle, defensor a ultranza de la vida en el mas alla y de las supuestas revelaciones de los espiritus, ayudado por la fama deductiva y habilidad casi forense exhibida en los relatos de su archiconocido Sherlock Holmes, libro durante casi toda su vida una cruzada en defensa del mundo de lo oculto. Houdini entablo una encarnizada batalla contra Doyle y los espiritistas a la que dedicaria toda su vida. Con sus prodigiosas habilidades, se convirtio en la ruina y el descredito para un gran numero de mediums, al desenmascarar e incluso imitar publicamente sus trucos. Al mismo tiempo, la obra es un recorrido grafico por la sumamente hermosa y sugerente fotografia espiritista y por los albores del espiritismo.
