"The Adventure of the Dying Detective" by Arthur Conan Doyle is a short story published in 1913. Dr. Watson rushes to Baker Street after learning that Sherlock Holmes is apparently dying from a rare tropical disease.

As Watson watches events unfold, he discovers that nothing is quite as it seems in this tale of deception and murder.
