Sherlock Holmes Short Stories - The Red-Headed League: Part One
When a flame-haired pawnbroker named Jabez Wilson seeks Sherlock Holmes's help, the great detective finds himself drawn into one of his most peculiar cases yet. Wilson tells an extraordinary tale: for two months, he was paid handsomely to copy the Encyclopedia Britannica as part of a mysterious organisation called "The Red-Headed League". But Holmes suspects there's more to this bizarre scheme than meets the eye. With his suspicions aroused by Wilson's unusually accommodating young assistant, Holmes begins to unravel what may be an elaborate criminal conspiracy.
