By the time Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had completed the twelve stories
for The Strand Magazine that are gathered together in The
Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, he was already growing tired of his
most famous creation, but the financial incentive to continue was
too great. So began the second series of stories, known as The
Memoirs; these introduced such notable characters as Holmes'
indolent brother, Mycroft, and Holmes' most dangerous adversary,
Professor James Moriarty, the 'Napoleon of Crime'. The collection
included such stories as 'The Adventure of the Resident Patient'
and 'The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter', which Doyle would
list later as amongst his favourites. It was to Moriarty that was
delegated the task of ending the career of the world's finest
consulting detective in a final, fatal encounter at The Reichenbach
Falls in Switzerland in the concluding tale, 'The Final Problem'.
