“Watson, wake up. We have a visitor.”,/ I felt the firm but friendly hand of Sherlock Holmes on my shoulder, forcing me awake. I pulled on my dressing gown and stumbled into the front room of 221B Baker Street. A young and exceptionally beautiful woman sat the sofa.“I have come to see you, Mr. Holmes, because the members of my family are conspiring to murder me.” “Are they now?” said Holmes. “And why would they want to do that?” “Because I am young, beautiful and brilliant; because I control the family estate following the recent death of my father; and because I utterly despise every one of them.”Sherlock Holmes agreed to take on her case. He soon discovered that it was not just her family who wanted her dead, and they were not without reason. The family fortune had been built on fraud and the illegal transport of slave and indentured workers.

“With regret, my dear Inspector,” said Sherlock Holmes, “I shall decline your invitation to assist in this case.”“Why?” demanded Inspector Lestrade.“A cottage catching fire and burning to the ground and causing the death of a young mother may be a terrible tragedy. Such events, sad though they are, have no connection with ingenious or singularly inexplicable crime. I reserve such unique talents as those with which Providence has blessed me to attend to solving events that are irrefutably criminal.”From his seat on the far side of the breakfast table in 221B Baker Street, Inspector Lestrade glared at Holmes and then smirked. He reached into his suitcoat pocket, extracted his wallet and drew out a five pound note. With a hint of a flourish, he laid it on the table and slid it into the middle of the table.“Fine then, Holmes. Are you feeling man enough for a small wager? Five pounds says that after sparing only a morning of your precious reserved time and coming with me to Sevenoaks, you will agree to take on the case. Better still, you will beseech me to allow you to participate.”Holmes and I paid a visit to the site of the fire.Sherlock Holmes lost the Should you wish to know what took place both here in England and in New York City several years before, you will have to purchase my account of it.

The Problem of the Pernicious Prophet
2022
“I have heard it in the wind," said the prophet.
"Someone will die. Murdered. Soon.
Only you, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, can stop it.”
The man who uttered these words had forced his way up the stairs and into 221B Baker Street. At first, I thought he was merely mad. He was dirty, disheveled and only somewhat coherent. Yet there was in his eyes a burning intelligence, a passion, and an unholy fear.
“Who is going to die?” asked Holmes.
“That has not been revealed to me. All I know is that you, Sherlock Holmes, must save that life.”
Holmes was about to ask more questions when the miserable creature turned and fled down the stairs and out onto the street.
His words were prophetic, and Sherlock Holmes would be implicated in a murder.
This story, the fiftieth in the series of New Sherlock Holmes Mysteries, is a tribute to the original story, The Problem of Thor Bridge.
Did you ever wonder whatever became of Neil Gibson and Miss Dunbar after Holmes solved the problem of Thor Bridge? Now you will find out.
