Join us for our regular monthly meeting to discuss “The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier” whereby a client shows up at 221 B. Baker Street to consult with Holmes regarding the fate of his good friend and fellow Boer War veteran Godfrey Emsworth in the first of only two cases written up by Sherlock Holmes, rather than Dr. Watson.

This tale from The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes was first published in the Strand Magazine in November 1926 and in the United States in Liberty magazine on October 16, 1926.

“I lit my pipe and leaned back in my chair.”

Join us for our regular monthly meeting to discuss “The Illustrious Client”, one of the later Sherlock Holmes stories gathered in his Casebook. In the words of Penguin’s Sherlock Holmes Book, this story is “a thrilling yarn that blends high-society glamour with the grit of the London underworld.”

First published in two parts in the Strand Magazine in February & March of 1925, and its first American appearance was in Collier’s Weekly magazine on November 8, 1924.

“The attack was made by two men armed with sticks.”

Join us for our regular monthly meeting when we discuss” His Last Bow”

First published in the U.K. in the Strand Magazine in September, 1917, this story lures Sherlock Holmes out of retirement in the English countryside to join Dr. Watson on a spy adventure on the eve of World War I!
