Valley of fear
A rich American is murdered in mysterious circumstances in a manor house in Sussex, England. Sherlock Holmes, accompanied by Dr. Watson, is invited to help the investigation. Though Holmes solves the mystery at hand, his attention and indeed the mystery itself shifts to the coalfields of North America. The heart of the matter is corruption - the date is 1875. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle outs his finger with uncanny accuracy on civil corruption which so blighted North America in that century.

Graphic novels
Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1915, La valle della paura è il quarto e ultimo dei romanzi che hanno per protagonista Sherlock Holmes. Un delitto inspiegabile, avvenuto nel castello della famiglia Douglas, mette in moto Sherlock Holmes, chiamato a risolvere il caso. Giunto sul posto, si rende conto, da alcuni dettagli che sarebbero sfuggiti ai più ma non a lui, che le cose non sono affatto come appaiono e che l'assassinato non è l'uomo che tutti credono. In realtà, il luogo del delitto non è altro che il teatro di una incredibile e clamorosa messa in scena. La mancanza delle fede nuziale al dito dell'assassinato è il primo indizio a mettere Holmes in sospetto. E lo strano simbolo tatuato sul suo braccio, nonché la mancanza di un manubrio ginnico che dovrebbe esserci ma non c'è, finiscono per confermarlo nei suoi sospetti. A poco a poco, nella sua mente prende corpo un'ipotesi che lo condurrà sulle tracce di una segreta Loggia, una feroce banda di assassini guidata da un misterioso Gran Maestro. Lo scoppiettante finale a sorpresa vede l'apparizione di una vecchia conoscenza di Holmes, il professor Moriarty, l'irriducibile avversario del grande detective londinese. Ancora una prova magistrale, l'ultima, della raffinata mente di Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

A cypher message and a horrible murder in a Sussex village begin this dark and powerful tale as Holmes battles with the forces of the criminal mastermind, Professor Moriarty. Central to the novel lies the story of a terrorist brotherhood and the hold it acquires over an American mining valley.
