A dense yellow miasma swirls in the streets of London as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson accompany a young woman to a sinister assignation. For Mary Marston has received several large pearls—one a year for the last six years—and now a mystery letter telling her she is a wronged woman. If she wishes to seek justice, she must meet her unknown benefactor, and she begs the great detective and his friend to accompany her on her mission. Sherlock agrees, and Watson is only too keen to comply with her request, having fallen in love with the beautiful Mary. But unknown to the three companions, others stalk London's fog-enshrouded streets: a one-legged ruffian with revenge on his mind—and his companion, who places no value on human life.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born on May 22, 1859. He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh and began to write stories while he was a student. Over his life he produced more than 30 books, 150 short stories, poems, plays, and essays across a wide range of genres. His most famous creation is the detective Sherlock Holmes, who he introduced in his first novel A Study in Scarlet. This was followed by a historical novel, Micah Clarke. Conan Doyle eventually published The Final Problem in which he killed off his famous detective so that he could turn his attention more towards historical fiction. However Holmes was so popular that Conan Doyle eventually relented and published The Hound of the Baskervilles in 1901. The events of the The Hound of the Baskervilles are set before those of The Final Problem, but in 1903 new Sherlock Holmes stories began to appear that revealed that the detective had not died after all. He was finally retired in 1927. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle died on July 7, 1930.
