The Final Problem - Sherlock Holmes

Perhaps the most momentous story in the Sherlock Holmes mythology, The Final Problem was first published in The Strand magazine in 1893.

It introduced the criminal genius, Professor Moriarity, and the outcome of their struggle at the Reichenbach Falls remains the stuff of legend.

Conan Doyle’s classic short story chills the reader to the core, and forever established him as a master story-teller.
