{"product_id":"9781466801257","title":"The Shadow of Reichenbach Falls","description":"Test2-MacmillanNonDRM-\u003cp\u003eProbably the most infamous story in the Sherlock Holmes canon is \"The Final Problem\" as it relates the facts of the death\/murder of the master detective at Reichenbach Falls. On May 4, 1891, the detective met his archenemy Professor Moriarty on a ledge above the falls; the two became locked in a titanic hand-to-hand struggle before both tumbled over the precipice, presumably to their deaths, as witnessed afar by Dr.Watson. The outcry against the death of such a popular character was so great that in 1901 Conan Doyle was forced to give in to the pressure of his fan mail. He resurrected the detective by claiming that Holmes had managed to grab a tuft of grass during the fall into the \"dreadful cauldron\" and so had lived to solve another mystery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut what really happened that infamous day at Reichenbach Falls and why did Holmes disappear in the aftermath? And what of the infamous Moriarty? How did a noble mathematician become the Napoleon of Crime?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Shadow of Reichenbach Falls\u003c\/i\u003e provides these answers and more.
