The Valley of Fear - A Sherlock Holmes Mystery - Unabridged

"'The Valley of Fear' is the fourth and final novel written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring his greatest creation: the world's first and finest consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes. In this adventure, Holmes receives an encoded message from an agent of Professor Moriarty that a man's life is in danger. When that man is subsequently murdered, Holmes insists to the authorities that Moriarty is not merely responsible for the murder, but is in fact a criminal mastermind. Moriarty, however - who has carefully constructed a benign public persona - appears to all the world to be an innocent man. With no actual evidence to prove his claims, Holmes' accusations fall on deaf ears. Thus begins one of the most thrilling and twist-filled adventures from Sherlock Holmes and his faithful companion Dr. John Watson as Holmes pursues the evil kingpin Professor Moriarity and attempts - at last - to bring him to justice. 'The Valley of Fear' is presented here in its original and unabridged format."

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes - Sherlock Holmes Book #4 - Unabridged

"In 'The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes,' Sir Arthur Conan Doyle attempted a feat that even the greatest criminal minds in England could not accomplish: He tried to kill off Sherlock Holmes. (And he very nearly succeeded.) Doyle's 1894 collection of short stories - which featured some of the most enoyable tales in the Holmes canon, including 'Silver Blaze,' 'The Musgrave Ritual' and 'The Crooked Man' - concludes with what was meant to be the last Sherlock Holmes story, 'The Final Problem.' In this narrative (spoiler alert!), Holmes finally comes face to face with his arch-nemesis, the cunning and cruel Professor Moriarty and, in a thrilling climax, both men confront each other, come to blows and plunge to their respective deaths over the Reichenbach Falls. (Holmes would be miraculously brought back to life in 'The Adventure of the Empty House' in 1903.) An essential collection for any serious Holmes fans, 'The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes' is presented here in its original and unabridged format."

Shakespeare's Greatest Monologues - The Complete Collection: Over 40 Legendary Speeches

"William Shakespeare, long hailed as the history's greatest dramatic writer, has been lauded for his mastery of poetic expression, his insight into the human condition and his deep exploration into the psyche and motivations of his characters.

From King Henry V's inspiring speech to his soldiers on the field of Agincourt to the villainous Merchant of Venice Shylock defending his own cruelty, to the shepherdess Phebe from 'As You Like It' grappling with her sudden attraction to a young courtier, to Nick Bottom from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream,' awaking from the strangest dream in history, Shakespeare's monologues are short distillations of his larger themes - love and loss, fairness and inequity, power and envy, lust and purity. Fort Raphael Publishing is proud to present - in this complete volume - the best of Shakespeare's greatest monologues, each of which captures a shining, brilliant moment from his plays that gives us a deeper understanding of each character, whether flattering, damning or inspiring.
