The Valley of Fear by Arthur Conan Doyle (best management books of all time .TXT) π
Description
The Valley of Fear is the final novel in the Sherlock Holmes series by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The story originally appeared over several issues of the monthly Strand Magazine in late 1914 before being published as a standalone work. While Doyle would continue to publish Sherlock Holmes short stories until 1927, The Valley of Fear remains Holmesβ final long-form appearance.
In the novel, Holmes and his assistant Watson are called to assist with an investigation into the murder of John Douglas, a man shot in his own home at point-blank range with a shotgun. As evidence is examined and witnesses within the house are questioned, Holmes uncovers holes in testimonies and a connection to a secret society that no one wishes to discuss.

Barker beat his head with his clenched fist in his impotent anger.
βDo you tell me that we have to sit down under this? Do you say that no one can ever get level with this king-devil?β
βNo, I donβt say that,β said Holmes, and his eyes seemed to be looking far into the future. βI donβt say that he canβt be beat. But you must give me timeβ βyou must give me time!β
We all sat in silence for some minutes, while those fateful eyes still strained to pierce the veil.
