  "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.

  Joshua Albert Flynn was born in Sheerness, Kent, on 15th September 1863.   
  He was educated at private schools and later graduated from King's College, London.    
  His initial career was with the Civil Service where he thrived.  A marriage to Ada Parkinson brought two sons and three daughters into their lives.   
  He worked in South Africa as a financial adviser to Lord Kitchener before stints at the Admiralty and the War Office.  In 1916 he was appointed director-general of finance at the Ministry of Pensions.  His stellar professional career brought him a Companion of the Order of the Bath in 1910 and a knighthood in 1919.  
  His career in literature, under the pseudonym ‘Owen Oliver’, started late and is almost forgotten today. Although he wrote a handful of novels, he was well regarded as the author of short stories for children.  But amongst the 250 stories he wrote and published in the leading periodicals and the magazines of the day his ambitions spread much wider.  He was able to write across a number of genres.  His humourous stories received particular praise as did his many science fiction stories, where undoubtedly his time in Government helped bring across a particular way of imparting information into the structure of narratives as normal everyday folk came up against terrifying and dystopian happenings. 
  Owen Oliver, died in Streatham, south London on 8th October 1933.  He was 70.

  Lord Charles Sheridan and his American wife, Kate, are on an archaeologist dig, excavating sections of Hadrian's Wall, when they are summoned to Glamis Castle by King Edward. Nestled in the rugged Grampian Mountains, Glamis is the most historic castle in all of Scotland, a place teeming with dark secrets and haunting shadows. While Kate winds her way through the elaborate manor, gaining inspiration for her next Gothic novel, Lord Charles discovers the reason behind their journey. It seems Prince Eddy, heir to the throne until his purported death in 1892, has actually been alive all these years. Deemed unfit to rule, he has been living secretly at Glamis under an assumed name. But now the prince has gone missing—on the very morning the body of one of his servants was found, her throat slashed in a manner eerily reminiscent of the Ripper's. Now, Charles and his clever Kate must find Eddy and clear his name—while keeping his true identity a secret...
