La grippe P4n8 est finalement beaucoup plus virulente que toutes celles que l'humanité a connues jusqu'à maintenant. Et les alertes répétées à la pandémie depuis la H1N1 ont fortement entamé nos défenses et notre pharmacopée. Tout ceci est inquiétant... pour tout le monde.

How do you make a government change its mind? And how do you recover your financial equilibrium after a bereavement? And, come to that, how do you recover your financial equilibrium after you return from the apparent dead when you have asked for no mention of your return be made in the press and so no one knows that your detective agency is back in business?

After the close of The Noble Batchelor, 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.

Holmes es contratado por Lady Eva Blackwell para recuperar unas cartas comprometedoras de un chantajista: Charles Augustus Milverton, una persona que provoca más repulsión a Holmes que cualquiera de los asesinos de su larga carrera.... Holmes decide que recuperará las cartas de una forma u otra.

The Blue Carbuncle is very different from all the other stories in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, because there is no client here. Sherlock Holmes accidentally stumbles upon a hat and a goose - and there - he's suddenly in the middle of a mind-blowing mystery!
