Sinopsis

Six more tales of Sherlock Holmes...áâÇÖThe Torso At Highgate CemeteryâÇÖáI watched as the policeman took out a notebook and read from an open page. He spoke in a whisper. Inspector LestradeâÇÖs face turned ashen. He turned towards me, looking grim.áâÇÖThe Mystery Of the Missing ArtefactsâÇÖ August 1916. A telegram is brought to my fetid prison cell under the magnificent State rooms of Sultan Mehmed V ReşÃódâÇÖs Ãçırağan Palace. ItâÇÖs from Sherlock Holmes. 'My dear Watson,' it read, 'do you remember the name of the fellow at the British Museum who contacted us over a certain matter just before I retired to my bee-farm in the South Downs?'áâÇÖThe Case of the Seventeenth MonkâÇÖ 'Now, Holmes,' I interrupted, checking the dragoman was out of hearing range, 'at least IâÇÖve discovered youâÇÖre alive. What of the raison dâÇÖêtre of your presence in the back of beyond? What of this Otto Müller?' 'What indeed?' came the rueful reply.áâÇÖThe Strange Death of an Art DealerâÇÖ 'Oh my God!' he exclaimed despairingly. 'It could be a catastrophe! I beseech you, Holmes, sort this whole thing out. I can neither think nor sleep nor attend to any matter of State.'áâÇÖThe Case of the Impressionist PaintingâÇÖ Holmes folded his napkin and sat back, staring into the fire. 'Watson, I do not say this lightly: a shiver went through me at the look in OâÇÖCleryâÇÖs eye when I revealed our identity. I have never before felt so deeply we were in the presence of some vast potency, a power of evil...'áâÇÖThe AmbassadorâÇÖs Skating CompetitionâÇÖ 'Holmes,' Watson retorted, 'I must warn you, no one should confront such rich, powerful, and ruthless men head on. We learned that lesson a few years ago. We are not of their ilk. TheyâÇÖll ride rough-shod over us again.'
