Holmes has been pursuing Professor James Moriarty and his crime organisation, and Moriarty retaliates by sending ruffians to kill Holmes. Holmes realises that London has become too hot for him, so he recruits Watson to assist him is escaping to the Continent. Moriarty catches up to Holmes at the Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland, and it appears that the two end in a mortal struggle. This is what you might call a cliff hanger today, literally, but Conan Doyle intended it to be the final Sherlock Holmes story for he wanted to pursue other interests. The public, however, had other plans. Is that a Deerstalker hat I see in the above Strand Magazine illustration by Sidney Paget? Well, Holmes was travelling.
