CASE 09 / BAKER STREET MYSTERIES
The Speckled
Band.
A locked door. A whistle in the night.
And a bell that never rings.
Helen Stoner returns to her late sister’s room.
Holmes and Watson have one night to uncover the danger.
Based on “The Adventure of the Speckled Band” by Arthur Conan Doyle. Original dialogue, illustrations, and documents; a solution faithful to the original. No knowledge of the story is needed. If you already know the ending, help new detectives solve the case.
About the adaptation and source
We have preserved the main plot and characters. An original adaptation of Doyle’s story. Some information from the conclusion is revealed earlier to allow an independent solution; this is marked in the files. Mortal danger and death, without graphic descriptions. The zoology of the conclusion is fictional. The dialogue is not quoted or excerpted from a modern translation. The English original at Project Gutenberg contains the solution.
