Summary

In the fog-shrouded streets of Edwardian London, legendary detective Sherlock Holmes is drawn into a deceptively simple case: an elderly widow receives a mysterious offer to buy her home — the very house called Three Gables — along with every item of its furniture, so long as nothing may ever leave it. What follows is a twist-laden investigation involving a murdered diplomat’s secret manuscript, hired thugs, a glamorous widow with something to hide, and Watson silently watching the game unfold at Baker Street. Doyle’s masterful blend of suspense, society scandal and classic deduction makes this short story a standout in the “Case-Book” collection. Read on for intrigue, deception and Holmes at his most cunning.
