Sherlock Holmes Short Stories

When a well-respected businessman named Neville St. Clair disappears from a seedy opium den in London’s East End, Holmes and Watson are drawn into one of their strangest mysteries yet. A series of macabre clues leads Holmes to believe that St. Clair was murdered, and suspicion falls upon a mysterious beggar with a horrifically scarred lip. As Holmes and Watson descend deeper and deeper into London’s seedy underbelly they discover a world in which nothing and no one are quite what they seem.
