A haunting Sherlock Holmes mystery that blends secrecy, compassion, and chilling revelation. The Adventure of the Veiled Lodger follows Dr. Watson as he recounts one of Holmes’s most unsettling cases: a woman who hides her disfigured face behind a constant veil and lives in isolation, burdened by a terrible past. As Holmes uncovers the truth behind her self-imposed imprisonment, the story shifts from conventional detective work to a powerful meditation on justice, mercy, and the human cost of violence.
