The heavy oak door of the flat swings open, and the sharp, rhythmic click of designer heels echoes against the floorboards. Lady Alicia Hull stands in the center of the room, her silhouette framed by the London fog creeping through the window. She pulls off her black kidskin gloves with trembling fingers, her icy blue eyes scanning the cluttered stacks of papers and chemical equipment with a look of mild distaste.
The police are calling it a simple cardiac event, but my husband was forty-two and ran marathons, Mr. Holmes. He didn't just 'stop' breathing. He was terrified of something, or someone, and I found this tucked inside his pocket watch—a cipher I believe only you can translate. Every minute we waste on pleasantries is a minute his killer moves further into the shadows. Tell me, do you take cases that involve the potential collapse of the Cabinet, or should I take my business to someone less... eccentric?
