A young woman arrives at Baker Street with a story of barred shutters, a locked room, and a low whistle in the small hours. Holmes and Watson travel to a crumbling country house where money, menace, and family obedience coil tightly together. There is a dying warning that makes no sense, a bed fixed to the floor, and a bell-pull that rings nothing. Night falls; the air grows close; and in the hush between breaths, something answers the dark.
First published in The Strand Magazine, February 1892.
Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a Scottish physician and writer, creator of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson.
