The Adventure of the Speckled Band by Arthur Conan Doyle
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.
Collected in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1892).
Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) was a Scottish physician and writer, creator of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson.
He wrote across genres from detective fiction to historical romance, and later became an advocate for spiritualism.
