The Stormy Petrels of BC will meet for their first study session of 2018 to discuss “The Adventure of the Red Circle”.
Printed in The Strand Magazine in two parts for the March and April 1911 editions.
It is an adventure featuring a mysterious lodger, cryptic messages, murder, kidnapping, secret societies, international intrigue and more….
Holmes takes the case and reminds Dr. Watson “It is Art for Art’s Sake.” and “Education never ends. It is a series of lessons, with the greatest for the last.”
The meeting will take place on the first Tuesday of February at 7:00 pm at our usual Hampton Place lounge.
For more information, contact Fran at franziskah@shaw.ca
Bonus question for members attending the meeting: Sherlock Holmes had heard of the case that the Pinkerton Agent, Mr. Leverton, was involved in. What was the name of the case?
