The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes collects eleven of the Holmes short stories which were published in 1892 and 1893. In this collection, Holmes and Watson encounter ancient family mysteries, petty thefts, kidnappings, blackmailing, and even matters of national importance. We also meet for the first time Mycroft Holmes, and Holme s arch nemesis, Professor Moriarty. In Silver Blaze, Holmes solves the puzzle of a racehorse s disappearance on the eve of an important race, together with the strange murder of its trainer. In The Yellow Face, a young husband s jealousy is aroused by his wife s conduct toward a strange family that has moved in next door and the appearance of a ghastly face at an upper window does nothing to soothe his feelings. Most unusually, Holmes deduction in this case proves to be incorrect! The Stockbroker s Clerk may bring to mind an earlier story ( The Red-Headed League ) as it depicts a robbery caper made possible by an innocent dupe. In The Gloria Scott, Holmes reminisces about one of his first cases, concerning a seemingly harmless letter that somehow frightened a man to death. Another early Holmes case is The Musgrave Ritual, in which two trusted servants in an aristocratic household suddenly begin acting erratically, then disappear altogether. In The Reigate Squire, Holmes tries to take the country air to settle his overworked nerves, only to get mixed upin a case of burglary and murder. The Crooked Man is a riff on the good old Locked Room Murder, featuring a wife suspected of bashing in her husband s skull. The real question, which the lady is too feverish to answer, is how their happy marriage came to blow up so suddenly and spectacularly.
