Synopsis

In 1891, Doyle told his mother he wanted to kill off Sherlock Holmes and stop writing about him for good. As a doctor, his practice was floundering; writing gave him a way to pass the time. Yet it was also a distraction. His mother begged him not to. Two years later, Doyle did it anyway, using his work 'The Final Problem,' as Holmes' last mystery. In the story, Holmes meets his end tumbling over Reichenbach Falls.

Much like a soap opera that keeps resurrecting dead characters, Doyle brought Holmes back after a nearly ten-year absence and lots of pleading by readers. He explained that Holmes--hoping to elude his enemies--had merely faked his death to protect himself.

After faking his own death, Holmes reappears several years later to carry on his criminal investigations. Dr. John Watson joins him once more as his aide and biographer. Holmes often assists an up-and-coming Scotland Yard inspector named Hopkins in his cases. The book consists of 13 stand-alone short stories.
