The Statement of the Case

Holmes and Watson meet Mary Morstan and learn the facts of her case. Ten years ago, after returning from a posting in India, her father disappeared. Six years ago, she started receiving expensive pearls in the post. And this morning, she received an anonymous invitation to meet an unknown friend in London. Before long, Holmes and Watson have arranged to go with her to this meeting and help her uncover the truth. (It doesn't hurt that Watson finds Miss Morstan quite a becoming young lady, either.) The stage is set for a new mystery, and let it help you drift away into another night of peaceful and restorative sleep.
