To solve the mystery of the "speckled band", Holmes and Watson stake out Miss Stoner's room and make a momentous discovery. The eighth of the 12 stories collected in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Doyle considered it the best of the Holmes stories.

Editorial Reviews

Performer David Timson is the ultimate Watson. He narrates The Adventure of the Final Problem with warmth and intelligence. His perfectly suited highbrow British accent and deliberate pacing make it near impossible to press pause. Besides, at 50 minutes, this action-packed tale flies by. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle himself ranks this short treasure fourth on his list of best Sherlock Holmes stories. Notably, Holmes' greatest foe, Professor James Moriarty, makes his first appearance here. Holmesian fans would be remiss to skip this installation.

Publisher's Summary
