Sherlock Holmes

The climax is when the lurid spark of a lantern shone through the newly opened crack in the flagstones of the bank vault floor then a white, womanly hand appeared in the opening and withdrew as suddenly as it had appeared. Next two men climbed out of the hole, and Holmes sprung out and seized one of the intruders by the collar.

The story starts when a man drops dead in the moors. A beggar tries to rob him. Holmes is told of an almost identical murder. They follow Mortimor and Henry Baskerville out so that nothing happens to him. Holmes and Watson find a man pointing a gun in a nearby cab and warn Henry. Watson and Henry later go out to the moors when they see a butler that looks like the gunman in the cab. He has a candle and is waving it about. Watson asks him of his actions. The butler disappears. They see a distant light that looks like a candle. They go out to the moors and find a lit candle in a stone cave. The beggar in the beginning of the story is spying on them.

The novels and short stories were written from 1886 until 1927.

Professor James Moriarty is a fictional character and the archenemy of the detective Sherlock Holmes in the fiction of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Widely considered to be the first true example of a supervillain, Moriarty is a criminal mastermind, described by Holmes as the "Napoleon of Crime" and he is also the primary antagonist of the the entire franchise. Doyle lifted the phrase from a real Scotland Yard inspector who was referring to Adam Worth, a real life model for Moriarty.
Professor Moriarty was Sherlock Holmes' nemesis. The only enemy that he could not beat. They were described as equals in skill and wits.

It was during a major social change in Britain while Britain itself was becoming a world economic power and growing suburbs- plus a growing crime rate.

it has changed through media and technology!

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is the author of this novel.

He was the dead uncle of Sir Henry Baskerville. Sir Henry had been living in Canada, and he had been summoned to London as he was to inherit the Baskerville estate valued at 740 thousand pounds (well over 10 million pounds today).

Because, Sherlock is like the expert at solving crimes.

Dr. Mortimer was one of the principle players in "The Hound of the Baskervilles", whose walking stick was found and shown to Holmes, who was able to deduce much about the man before seeing him. Mortimer needed help with addressing "The Baskerville Curse". :}

Professor James Moriarty. a retired mathematics professor, Holmes refers to him as "the Napoleon of crime." In the case, "The Final Problem" found in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, Holmes takes on this criminal mastermind in a battle of wits and physical prowess that ultimately ends in the apparent death of both in Reichenbach Falls.

In a way, Holmes respects Moriarty's intelligence of criminology and shrewedness. But all the same, he despises him because he is a criminal and also like him for setting a challenge for him every time. Think of those two as two nerdy rivals in class. They both hate and like each other.

He saw six scratches on the inside of Watson's left boot. Hence he had been out in bad weather and had a muddy boot, hence his boot needed scraping, and hence he had a carless servant who scratched his boot in six places. Get it? I hope I explained it well. Best wishes, R. N. L.

The address was 221b Baker street, London.

Sherlock Holmes is famously known to reside at 221B Baker Street in London. He first moved there in 1881, as detailed by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in "A Study in Scarlet," the first novel featuring the iconic detective. The address has since become synonymous with Holmes and his adventures, attracting fans and tourists alike.

"As to reward, my profession is its reward; but you are at liberty to defray whatever expenses I may be put to, at the time which suits you best." -- Sherlock Holmes, The Adventure of the Speckled Band

'O, my God! Helen! It was the band! The speckled band!' There was something else which she would fain have said, and she stabbed with her finger into the air in the direction of the Doctor's room, but a fresh convulsion seized her and choked her words.

ummm his smart I think

We'll never know. In many of the Holmes stories, Watson makes reference to Holmes; remarks about crimes (solved and unsolved) that he never discussed with Watson, either for reasons of discretion, or because he felt the specifics of the case, while fantastic, would not demonstrate how logic, deduction and observation worked (a criterion of Holmes'; he disliked Watson's writings when they ventured away from the coldly scientific and stoic, and into the realm of "sensationalism".). Even considering the number of crimes mentioned in the books, the likely number would be far higher.

Sherlock Holmes solved more than 1000 small or big cases

"This case of yours is very complex, Sir Henry. When taken in conjunction with your uncle's death I am not sure that of all the five hundred cases of capital importance which I have handled there is one which cuts so deep." -- Sherlock Holmes, "The Hound of the Baskervilles"

Watson and Holmes reference about 100 unpublished cases in all of the 60 stories that are recounted for us.
