Fog has lain over the city for four days when an old merchant is found dead in his study in Clerkenwell. The police have their man by Thursday noon. They have a motive, a bloodstained cuff, and a night watchman of thirty-one years' good service who swears he saw the accused leave the house by lamplight. Only Sherlock Holmes asks how a man could see a face across forty feet of London fog. 🌫️ What begins as a plain case becomes a trail of small things. A lamp, a copybook, a betting slip, a walking stick with a silver head. Every thread comes away in Holmes's hand a little too easily, and the closer he gets to the truth, the more someone else seems to want him there. 🔍 An fan-made Sherlock Holmes mystery, written in the spirit of Arthur Conan Doyle and narrated in full by Dr. Watson. One complete case, no mid-roll ads, made for a long evening by the fire or a quiet night of listening.
