CASE 02 / BAKER STREET MYSTERIES
The Red-Headed
League.
Four pounds for copying a book.
A fortune for being somewhere else.
A strange advertisement. A perfect job. A locked door.
Holmes sees a case where Watson sees only a very generous employer.
Based on “The Red-Headed League” by Arthur Conan Doyle. Original dialogue, illustrations, and documents; the solution follows the original. No knowledge of the story is needed. If you already know the ending, become an assistant to new detectives.
About the adaptation and source
We have retained the central plot and characters. We condensed and clarified the chronology and distributed the clues across 12 files. The dialogue is original, not quotations from a modern translation. The English original at Project Gutenberg contains the solution.
