Book Description

Sherlock Holmes had been laid up in bed for weeks, his body wracked with a strange and deadly illness. His faithful companion, Dr. Watson, was greatly concerned but had done all he could to help. But the illness seemed to have no cure. Holmes was too weak even to rise from his bed. Watson had all but given up hope. Then one day, a mysterious visitor arrived at the doorstep. She was a woman in a dark cape, and she had a strange request: she wanted Holmes to help her solve a case. Holmes was eager to oblige, despite his weakened state. He asked Watson to gather all the facts about the case, which he did. Holmes then laid out his deductions, his keen mind still sharp despite his illness. He declared the case to be a murder, and the victim to be the woman's brother. He even revealed the identity of the murderer, and the motive for the crime. The case was solved, and the murderer was apprehended. But Holmes' illness was too much for him. He died a few days later, his last act of heroism being the saving of an innocent life. The Adventure of the Dying Detective is a testament to the great detective's powers of deduction, even in his waning days. It is a reminder of the incredible things that one man can do, even when his life hangs in the balance.
