First published in 1893, "The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes" is a collection of eleven detective stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most famous literary creation, Sherlock Holmes. Doyle had intended that this collection be the final stories of Holmes and Watson and killed off the beloved detective in the last story in this collection, "The Final Problem", which contains the infamous confrontation between Holmes and his arch-nemesis, the criminal Moriarty, at the Reichenbach Falls.
