The Adventure of the Copper Beeches
A young woman comes to ask Holmes for advice. She has been offered a job as a governess with very good pay – but the job has some very strange conditions. She must cut her beautiful long hair. She must wear a special blue dress. And she must sit in a certain chair by the window.
Should she take the job? Holmes tells her it sounds dangerous, but she decides to go. Soon she sends Holmes an urgent message – she needs his help immediately!
The Final Problem
Holmes is in terrible danger. Professor Moriarty, the most dangerous criminal in London, wants to kill him. Moriarty controls crime all over the city, but Holmes has discovered his secrets. Holmes and Watson must escape from England quickly. They travel to Switzerland, but Moriarty follows them.
