Beskrivelse
Deciphered from a recently acquired manuscript, this previously unpublished novel of Sherlock Holmes by his chronicler, John H. Watson, M.D., is sure to delight fans of the first "consulting detective." The curate of Wenlock Edge and his wife are embarrassed to ask for help from Sherlock Holmes. They are aware that their problem appears trival, but ask they do. Fortunately for them, there is an unusual item in their story that piques Holmes's interest, and he accepts their case. Anticipating that the solution shouldn't be too difficult, unusually time consuming, or dangerous, Holmes suggests to Watson, that both of them could enjoy a country visit before Watson's upcoming nuptials with the lovely Mary Morstan, and Watson readily agrees. In short order, Holmes and Watson discover that something very odd is indeed happening in the village, many members of which have already decided what is responsible: the ghost of the Mad Monk. Strange happenings have oppressed the villagers. While they go about their daily tasks, they do so with apprehension and an expectation of something fearful just around the corner. And they are not far wrong.
