About This Item

UK,8vo HB+dw/dj,1st thus.NFINE/FINE.No owner inscrptn,and no price- clip to dw/dj.Pictorial,colour decorated,laminated boards,design repeated to dw/dj.Fore-edges slightly aged.8vo,189pp.9th and last volume in the Sherlock Holmes Collected edn,with an introduction by Len DEIGHTON. When this,the fourth and last of the long Sherlock Holmes stories, appeared in 1914,Sir Arthur Conan Doyle remarked lightly,'I fancy this is my swan-song in fiction.' To all intents and purposes his days as a fiction writer were over,and he dedicated himself to the crusade for spiritualism that was to dominate his final years. Serialized in the Strand Magazine from September 1914 to April 1915, 'The Valley of Fear' is the tale in which Holmes solves the mystery of a foul murder in a moated house in Sussex.In doing so,he uncovers an earlier and grimmer history of lawlessness and wholesale slaughter in a mining valley in the United States,and once again grapples with the criminal master-mind of Professor Moriarty.See also rja1356, rja1357, rja1358.
