  The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle is one of 56 short Sherlock Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the seventh story of twelve in the collection The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. It was first published in Strand Magazine in January 1892.As London prepares for Christmas, newspapers report the theft of the near-priceless gemstone, the "Blue Carbuncle", from the hotel suite of the Countess of Morcar. John Horner, a plumber and a previously convicted felon, is soon arrested for the theft. Despite Horner's claims of innocence, the police are sure that they have their man. Horner's record, and his presence in the Countess's room where he was repairing a fireplace, are all the police need.Just after Christmas, Watson pays a visit to Holmes at 221B Baker Street. He finds the detective contemplating a battered old hat brought to him by the commissionaire, Peterson. Both the hat and a Christmas goose had been dropped by a man in a scuffle with some street ruffians. The honest Peterson had sought Holmes's help in returning the items to their owner but although the goose bears a tag with the owner's name—Henry Baker—based on the number of people with this name in London there is little hope of finding the man. Peterson takes the goose home for dinner, and Holmes keeps the hat to study as an intellectual exercise.Famous works of the author Arthur Conan Doyle's: "A Study in Scarlet", "Silver Blaze", "The Hound of the Baskervilles", "The Yellow Face", "A Scandal in Bohemia", "The Red-Headed League", A Case of Identity", "The Boscombe Valley Mystery", "The Five Orange Pips", "The Man with the Twisted Lip", "The Blue Carbuncle", "The Speckled Band", "The Engineer's Thumb", "The Noble Bachelor", "The Beryl Coronet", "The Copper Beeches" and many more.

  They took him to a room where the walls were white and the questions were sharp. Carl, a man with a past he'd rather forget, found himself shackled and beaten, caught in a game he didn't understand. They wanted information. They wanted a card. And they wanted to know who he worked for. 
  But Carl knew the rules of the underworld: trust no one, reveal nothing. He was a pawn in a high-stakes game, and the players were far more dangerous than he imagined. A beautiful, chilling woman named Nancy held the strings, her voice like glass, her words laced with menace. She offered friendship, but Carl knew better. In this city of shadows and secrets, friendship was just another way to bleed you dry. 
  "The Seven of Diamonds" plunges Carl into a world of hidden agendas and deadly alliances. He's caught between Solitaire, the organization he works for, and a shadowy power that makes them look like small fry. Can Carl play his cards right, or will he become just another casualty in a game where everyone's bluffing? 
  In a world where loyalty is a lie and survival is a gamble, Carl learns that some secrets are worth dying for. And some women are best left alone.
