  "The Adventure of the Empty House", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 13 stories in the cycle collected as The Return of Sherlock Holmes.
  Public pressure forced Conan Doyle to bring the sleuth back to life, and explain his apparently miraculous survival of a deadly struggle with Professor Moriarty. This is the first Holmes story set after his supposed death at the Reichenbach Falls, as recounted in "The Final Problem". The Hound of the Baskervilles had seen the return of a pre-Reichenbach Falls Sherlock Holmes, which only served to whet readers' appetites.
  Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Empty House" sixth in his list of his twelve favorite Holmes stories.

  WHO PUT THE HOMICIDE IN THE HOLIDAYS? NOT KIKI . . . BUT SHE BETTER TRACK DOWN THE PERSON WHO KILLED ONE OF HER CUSTOMERS OR SHE'LL BE HANGING STOCKINGS BY HERSELF! 
   
   
   
  Kiki is eight months pregnant and trying to cram as much ho-ho-ho into the holidays as possible. When a customer drops dead during an offsite event, this intrepid scrapbooking sleuth is left holding the bag. After her name is cleared, Kiki isn't one to sit around while her friends are threatened with false imprisonment. 
   
   
   
  Instead, she vows to wrap up this case and tie it with a bow. Leave it to Kiki to determine who was nice, and who was very, very naughty, indeed. A nasty Christmas Grinch is targeting one of Kiki's friends—and that's just not kosher. No way is Kiki going to take a back seat in Santa's sled while one of her pals is thrown under the bus. Besides, the murder weapon itself just plain "bugs" her. 
   
   
   
  Kiki might not qualify as Santa's Helper, but she's definitely on the "good girl" list. She plans to make these murder charges stick like a fresh roll of Scotch tape. Meanwhile, the entire crew at her store is working hard to carry out her Twelve Days of Christmas crafting extravaganza! That's one busy Santa's workshop.

  Unfortunately, the past is catching up with one of them. Vengeance with a capital V is as rare as it is dangerous and doesn't pay. Except that is what both of them want. What choice do they have when a federal agent promises to turn the pair into his personal sock puppets if they don't comply with his game? 
   
   
   
  Going undercover amongst the great and greasy of the city, things move from unprofitable to . . . well complicated. But for a chance at revenge, is any price too high? 
   
   
   
  Pain and Agony are once more caught between scumbags and a son of a bitch. Will their plans work? Hard to tell. But their exit strategy is guaranteed to be gratuitously violent. Occasionally at each other, more often against their enemies. 
   
   
   
  Shenanigans, shameful behavior, and a shower of brass shells should be expected when a "subtle infiltration" is left up to Pain and Agony. 
   
   
   
  But hey, if violence gets the job done and is fun along the way, what should the fed agent complain about? 
   
   
   
  Perhaps he shouldn't have engaged Pain and Agony.
