- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5When an important document goes missing from a government official’s dispatch box, the official turns to Sherlock Holmes to recover the document. It’s a matter of national – even international – security. Holmes intends to start his investigation with a man known to him as a spy, but Watson surprises him for once with news of the man’s murder. It’s not long before Inspector Lestrade seeks Holmes’s assistance at the murder scene. It seems that the murdered man bled on the carpet. When the carpet was removed, however, there was no corresponding stain on the floor underneath, but there was a stain on the floor on the opposite side of the room. This is the clue Holmes needs to locate and restore the missing document. Holmes’s solution reveals a chivalrous aspect to his character that he would probably deny.
