The Valley of Fear is the fourth and final Sherlock Holmes novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is loosely based on the Molly Maguires and Pinkerton agent James McPar- land. The story was first published in the Strand Magazine between September 1914 and May 1915. The first book edition was published by George H. Doran Company in 1915, and illustrated by Arthur I. Keller.
