The Valley of Fear is a mystery novel written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The novel was first published in 1915 and is the fourth and final novel featuring Sherlock Holmes.

The story begins with a coded warning received by Holmes, indicating that a murder is about to take place in a small mining town called Vermissa Valley. Holmes and his trusted companion Dr. Watson investigate the case and uncover a complex web of deceit, revenge, and secret societies. The novel is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the murder mystery in Vermissa Valley and the second part delving into the backstory of the main suspect and his connection to a secret society called the "Scowrers". This part of the novel takes the reader back to the United States and the criminal underworld of the late 19th century.
