Description: This is the famous volume in which Sherlock Holmes reappears after his presumed death with his adversary Moriarty at the Reichenbach Fall. It was only after much persuasion that Conan Doyle agreed to bring back Holmes — the result was sensational. On publication an eye-witness wrote: 'The scenes at the railway-bookstall were worse than anything I ever saw at a bargain-sale.' Holmes was back at 221 b Baker Street and a new era was inaugurated.
Notes: Originally published, Newnes, 1905.
