While Holmes often solves cases that are unrelated to one another, he has a nemesis with whom he comes
into both direct and indirect conflict in several stories That person is Professor Moriarty, the leader of a crime
Trang 5ring in London In one of the stories, The Final Problem, Holmes and Moriarty fight one another and fall to their deaths by plunging down a steep cliff near a waterfall When he wrote that story, Doyle had tired of
Holmes and wanted to kill off the character He then refrained from writing about Holmes for many years
but public demand for more detective stories induced him to bring Holmes back from the dead and to continue writing
