When

Sherlock Holmes receives a bungled tip-off from one of the agents of his

nemesis, Professor Moriarty, the great detective hopes to avoid a murderous

crime and bring the would-be assassin to justice. But on being informed soon

afterwards that one John Douglas of Birlstone Manor has been found with his

head blown apart by a shotgun, he realizes that he is too late. And so begins

an enthralling tale of revenge, vigilantism and secret societies, one that

transports the reader from the English countryside to the violent world of

the American frontier of the 1860s.

The fourth and final novel in the Sherlock Holmes canon, originally

published in the Strand magazine between September 1914 and May 1915, The

Valley of Fear is a riveting whodunit that showcases all of the classic

elements that have ensured the enduring popularity of the stories featuring

Conan Doyle's most famous creation.
