Once again Conan Doyle presents a series of cases which baffle the police, but are no match for Sherlock Holmes and his trusty companion Dr Watson:

- The Adventure of Black Peter
- The Adventure of the Golden Prince-Nez

- The Adventure of the Missing Three-Quarter

- The Adventure of the Abbey Grange

- The Adventure of the Second Stain.



In 'Black Peter' the peace of rural Sussex is disturbed by the discovery of a seafarer's body pinned to the wall of his hut with a harpoon. In 'The Golden Pince-Nez' a young man is found dead clutching a pair of spectacles - yet he had perfect sight. Who is the short-sighted murderer? In 'The Missing Three-Quarter' Holmes takes on a novel case when a rugby player goes missing the day before a major University match. A woman tied to a chair; her husband clubbed to death with a poker, a case of robbery with violence? But all is not what it seems in the case of 'The Abbey Grange'. The series ends with 'The Second Stain' where a top secret document that could lead Britain into war goes missing. Holmes is put to the test to save his country as well as his reputation.
