Description
In “The Adventure of the Soho Picture Gallery” three people are murdered in London. The murders are accompanied by unmistakable symbols of ritualism. Holmes’s trail leads to a respected peer of the realm and he unearths a web of vice, deception, and intrigue beneath Victorian society’s respectable veneer.
“The Adventure of the Edmonton Horror” features a case which causes the wildest speculation, and which seems destined to join the apocrypha in Holmes’s uncommonplace book, a collection of the strangest and most mysterious occurrences ever recorded in the capital. Is it a matter for a detective, a clergyman, or an occultist?
In “The Adventure of the Rotherhithe Ship-breakers” Holmes tracks down a would-be assassin, with no one certain who the bullet went for. The investigation leads Holmes to one of the foulest, most dangerous corners of riverside London, a criminal plague spot which even the locals call the Four Corners of Hell.
