The puzzling case gives the detective the perfect opportunity to demonstrate his skills in observation, forensics, and deduction. This electrifying novel features themes of ethical ambiguity and makes political commentary on terrorist activity. First published in The Strand Magazine between 1914 and 1915, this captivating detective-fiction novel presents an intricate crime and sets the reader the impossible challenge of cracking the case before Holmes can solve it.
