When a young governess is offered a startlingly high salary for a simple post in the Hampshire countryside, she turns to Holmes for advice. Her new employer’s peculiar conditions—cutting her hair short, wearing a particular dress, and sitting by a specific window at certain times—hint at a potentially sinister motive... Soon, Holmes and Watson find themselves drawn into a case where nothing and no one are quite what they seem.
