Sherlock Holmes: The Valley of Fear (English Edition) : The Final Sherlock Holmes Novel in the Original English Text

Que faut-il savoir sur ce produit ?

A murdered man. A hidden identity. A secret brotherhood whose vengeance reaches across continents. When Sherlock Holmes receives a cryptic warning from one of Professor Moriarty's informants, the message seems to point to danger — but it arrives too late. In the moated manor house of Birlstone, a man named John Douglas has been found dead, his face destroyed by the blast of a shotgun. The evidence is strange, the household uneasy, and the clues suggest that the truth is far darker than a simple murder. As Holmes and Watson investigate, the case leads beyond the quiet English countryside to a violent past in the American coalfields. There, in the Valley of Fear, a secret society rules by terror, intimidation and murder — and one man's hidden life becomes the key to the mystery at Birlstone. The Valley of Fear is the fourth and final Sherlock Holmes novel by Arthur Conan Doyle. Combining a locked-room-style investigation, a tale of undercover danger and the shadow of Professor Moriarty, it echoes the structure of A Study in Scarlet while bringing Holmes's novel-length adventures to a dramatic close. First published in serial form in The Strand Magazine from September 1914 to May 1915 and in book form in 1915, The Valley of Fear is presented here as Volume 7 of The Complete Sherlock Holmes Collection, arranged according to the order of original publication. This is the English-language paperback edition of The Valley of Fear. Arthur Conan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes. The Valley of Fear. The Complete Sherlock Holmes Collection 7.
