In Chapter 4 of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock is called to investigate a mysterious murder in rural Herefordshire. A young man is accused of killing his father — the evidence seems overwhelming, but Holmes suspects something far more complex. This case challenges both his deductive genius and moral judgment.

Written by legendary British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Boscombe Valley Mystery was originally published in The Strand Magazine in 1891 and is the fourth short story in the first Holmes collection. Doyle’s genius for character, suspense, and surprise is on full display.
