It's elementary: fictional detectives come and go, but only Holmes is immortal. His inventor, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, named twelve stories as his special favorites; we add six more to distill the very best of Holmes. Join the master of scientific deduction (and Dr. Watson, his long-suffering sidekick) as they solve the insoluble, defend the innocent, and stalk the criminal mastermind Professor Moriarty. In a climactic story, "The Final Problem," Holmes and Moriarty battle to the death—or do they? Holmes's last adventure—or is it?—inspires the 2011 film Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows.
