Summary

As children, we are led to believe there are monsters in the darkness. It has ill-prepared us for the monsters that walk among us in the light.
 
For years, the sickness grew inside him. Stronger. Needful of its want. He knew what it was, and knew that it was wrong. But he was weak. Desire, lust, perversion - this was his sickness.
 
Alfred was a normal man to any who might see him walking by; no one would ever believe the darkness that lingered just below the surface. An evil lingered there - one he was about to let out.
 
The first girl was meant to be the only one, but she failed him, and so did the next. Or maybe he had failed them?
 
Even so, he would not stop until he found the one that would complete him.

But DCI Emma Gardner and her partner DI Paul Riddick aren’t so sure. Why would the old hermit leave such an obvious clue? And who would want to set the old man up? 
As they dig deeper into the murder they discover a community in fear, determined to keep hold of long buried secrets. And Riddick is convinced that his own dark past is somehow linked to this crime, too.

    "The Adventure of the Illustrious Client" (1924) is one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and one of the 12 stories collected as The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes.
Sir James Damery comes to see Holmes and Watson about his illustrious client's problem (the client's identity is never revealed to the reader, although Watson finds out at the end of the story; it is heavily implied to be King Edward VII). General de Merville's young daughter Violet has fallen in love with the roguish and sadistic Austrian Baron Adelbert Gruner, who Damery and Holmes are convinced is a shameless philanderer and a murderer. The victim was his last wife, of whose murder he was acquitted owing to a legal technicality and a witness's untimely death. She met her end in the Splügen Pass. Holmes also finds out that the Baron has expensive tastes and is a collector and a recognised authority on Chinese pottery.
