  The Man with the Twisted Lip, one of 56 short Sherlock Holmes stories written by the British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is the sixth of 12 stories in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. It was first published in Strand Magazine in 1891. 
  Neville St. Clair, a respectable businessman, has disappeared, and his wife claims she saw him at the upper window of an opium den. When she entered the room, she found only a beggar. St. Clair's clothes are later found in the room, and his coat, laden with coins, in the River Thames outside the window. The beggar is arrested for murder, but a few days later St. Clair's wife receives a letter from her husband. 
  Holmes considers and watches the beggar to discover that he is actually St. Clair, who confesses that he has been leading a double life as a beggar, as the income is so large, but he promises to stop begging if Holmes will keep his secret from his wife.

  Fully dramatized cerebral horror-mystery and fantasy epic. On a lost continent during Roman times, Epinanaus, a renowned historian, has upset the Emperor Bolgud by rebuking the decadent palace and carnal indulgences. Enraged, the Emperor sends him on an impossible military expedition into the lands of the Centaurs. Although assumed to be dead, the historian survives and decides to retire, dwelling on the outskirts of the Empire where he studies philosophy, becoming a Sage and contemplating the existence of the All. He establishes a solitary hermitage in the desert: "The Well of Souls." 
  A traveler arrives one night seeking shelter. Against his better judgment Epinanaus lets him in. The unexpected guest, having traveled the continent, speaks of mysteries, of great deeds, bizarre cults, terrifying creatures, and political intrigue. He wishes to convince Epinanaus of an ancient conspiracy still at work. It would take Faith for Epinanaus to believe the secret history. If he cannot, as it seems, the cults and forces of darkness will enslave all. 
  The guest is Hepthe, a Christian hunted by the powers of Hell for his sins, and a insurrectionist. With a plan to convert his host from Rationalism to Faith, and to the righteous revolution, he seeks Epinanaus' help to overthrow the Emperor Bolgud. But it cannot be done without trust in a subversive organization: "The Mad and Scared Dogs" whose dealings are quite shady. Hepthe adds that Epinanaus must give his life to restore the old Republic. 
  Hepthe tells why this sacrifice should be made and why only Epinanaus can do it. To show him, he prays for prophecy and communicates with the angels...foreseeing the sinister plans of the Emperor Bolgud and his loyal wizard Zuphagen... 
  The prophecy reveals something unexpected. If Epinanaus will not be the hero, then God has another chosen one: The Emperor himself. For the mind and heart of that man will change when he meets the love of his life...
