- The Valley of Fear is a mystery novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and was the last of the four Sherlock Holmes novels written by the author. It was first published in serial form in the Strand Magazine from September 1914 to May 1915.
- The novel is divided into two parts in a structure reminiscent of the first Sherlock Holmes novel A Study in Scarlet. The first part, subtitled "The Tragedy of Birlstone", is the murder mystery while the second part, subtitled "The Scowrers", describes events which took place earlier in America that eventually led to the murder in England. The Valley of Fear has been adapted to other media many times.

- The Valley of Fear is a mystery novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and was the last of the four Sherlock Holmes novels written by the author. It was first published in serial form in the Strand Magazine from September 1914 to May 1915.
- The novel is divided into two parts in a structure reminiscent of the first Sherlock Holmes novel A Study in Scarlet. The first part, subtitled "The Tragedy of Birlstone", is the murder mystery while the second part, subtitled "The Scowrers", describes events which took place earlier in America that eventually led to the murder in England. The mystery concerns a murder in a country manor house built upon the ruins of a feudal castle. The house is surrounded by a moat and the only approach is over a drawbridge. One night, the master of the house John Douglas is found dead from a shotgun wound to the face. A house guest who reached the room within thirty seconds of hearing the shot found no intruders. The drawbridge had been raised earlier so that the house was cut off, yet there are no signs of the murderer wading through the moat and climbing out on the other side. The famous consulting detective Sherlock Holmes is called in to assist Scotland Yard and the local police on the classic locked-room mystery. The investigation soon reveals that Douglas had made not only his fortune but also some powerful enemies in America. The American backstory about a secret organization called the Scowrers is a fictional account of the Molly Maguires and the labor unrest in Pennsylvania in the1870s. The Valley of Fear has been adapted to other media many times.
