A bit of a frustrating case for Holmes. Watson describes him as frowning something like ten times. That aside it's a really engaging read. Most memorable scene has to do with the Thames river rising and filling the basement of a warehouse where an ally of Holmes has been beaten and chained. A nail biter of a rescue involving a few of the Irregulars. This adventure also features intrigue having to do with the Catholic Church and an Italian Crime syndicate.
