Giallo - short story (20 pagine) - Holmes lets his emotionless façade slip by the Baker Street fireside...
"Draw your chair up, good Watson, and hand me my violin, for the only problem we have still to solve is how to while away these bleak autumnal evenings."
After these words bring The Noble Batchelor to a close, Holmes lets his emotionless façade slip by the Baker Street fireside, as he tells Watson of his very first case. Dating back to 1869, the case takes in the Thames, London Zoo, Highgate Cemetery, a poet, and a beautiful and tragic female figure.
A must for all lovers of the outre.
