　　Sherlock Holmes 　　The Complete Novels and Stories 　　 　　Volume II 　　 　　Since his first appearance in Beeton’s Christmas Annual in 1887, Sir 　　Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes has been one of the most beloved 　　fictional characters ever created. Now, in two paperback volumes, Bantam 　　presents all fifty-six short stories and four novels featuring Conan 　　Doyle’s classic hero--a truly complete collection of Sherlock Holmes’s 　　adventures in crime! 　　 　　Volume II begins with The Hound of the Baskervilles, a haunting novel of 　　murder on eerie Grimpen Moor, which has rightly earned its reputation as 　　the finest murder mystery ever written. The Valley of Fear matches 　　Holmes against his archenemy, the master of imaginative crime, Professor 　　Moriarty. In addition, the loyal Dr. Watson has faithfully recorded 　　Holmes’s feats of extraordinary detection in such famous cases as the 　　thrilling The Adventure of the Red Circle, Holmes’s tragic and 　　fortunately premature farewell in The Final Problem, and the twelve 　　baffling adventures from The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes. 　　 　　Conan Doyle’s incomparable tales bring to life a Victorian England of 　　horse-drawn cabs, fogs, and the famous lodgings at 221B Baker Street, 　　where for more than forty years Sherlock Holmes earned his undisputed 　　reputation as the greatest fictional detective of all time.
