Sherlock Holmes - The Adventure of the Dancing Men

About

A country gentleman begs Holmes to decode a series of mysterious stick-figure drawings left around his estate — drawings that his American wife recognizes but refuses to explain, her terror growing with each new message. Holmes cracks the cipher to reveal a threat reaching across the Atlantic from a criminal past she thought she'd escaped, but the answer comes too late to prevent tragedy. A tight two-hander with a solved puzzle at its heart and a genuinely shocking ending — ideal for reading groups who want Holmes at his most brilliant and most human.
