"The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes" by Arthur Conan Doyle (1894)

The second collection of Sherlock stories published by Arthur Conan Doyle in book form, including two of the most memorable of them all:
– The Greek Interpreter, introducing Sherlock’s elder brother Mycroft who has an even greater gift of precise reasoning and deduction than his own, although he’s too phlegmatic to ever go out and do the field investigations necessary to obtain proof for a law court the way Sherlock does, being a member of the extraordinarily antisocial Diogenes club whose main rule is that members aren’t allowed to talk to each other;
and
– The Final Problem, the last and very famous tale recounting Sherlock’s determined and finally fatal conflict with the master-mind behind almost all of London’s criminal activity, the very brilliant and very ruthless Professor Moriarty – an end to the Sherlock saga that caused profound public pain and a wave of protests that finally convinced the celebrated creator to continue the series later with his brilliant novel The Hound of the Baskervilles in 1902, and eventually a total of 34 more Sherlock stories.
