The Mystery of the Murdered Bow - Part Four.

 

 

Called from 221b Baker Street by Inspector Lestrade's urgent summons, Holmes and Watson have made their way by train to Cambridge.

 

 

A young man is dead.

 

 

Self-murder is suspected.

 

 

On arrival, the evidence initially suggests that the facts fit Lestrade's conclusion: Mr Martin was found alone in his room, with a single gunshot wound to the head. But there is no pistol. And as Holmes examines the room, he finds a priest's hole and single button. 

 

 

Do they mean anything?

 

 

Lestrade thinks not, but Holmes is not sure. His investigation leads him to the college boathouse where a conversation with Mr. Pitman and Mr. Muttlebury, both rowers and crewmates of Mr. Martin, provides new information.

 

 

But is it relevant?

 

 

Get some!
