Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Valley of Fear" was the last of the Sherlock Holmes novels published by the author and originally appeared in "Strand Magazine" serially between September 1914 and May 1915. The novel concerns the real-life activities of the secret Irish organization, the "Molly Maguires", and of Pinkerton agent James McParland who investigated them. Divided into two parts, the novel is first concerned with Holmes investigation of an apparent murder victim whose identity is mistaken and secondly with the story of the man originally thought to be the murder victim. Notable for its involvement of Professor Moriarty, which seems to contradict the timeline of the other Sherlock stories, "The Valley of Fear" was one of the last great chapters in the literary legacy of Doyle's most famous creation, Sherlock Holmes.
