Corwyn and Caledonia crack open yet another case from THE RETURN OF SHERLOCK HOLMES! Grabba a cuppa and join them at the fireside for another thrilling adventure. THIS WEEK (Really): "The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton."
Holmes is hired by the débutante Lady Eva Blackwell to retrieve compromising letters from a blackmailer:
Milverton, who causes Holmes more revulsion than any of the 50-odd
murderers in his career. Milverton is "the king of blackmailers" and he
makes his living out of blackmail. He demands £7,000 (about $700,000 in
2010) for the letters, which would cause a scandal that would end Lady
Eva's marriage engagement. Holmes offers £2,000, all Lady Eva can pay,
but Milverton insists on £7,000. It is worth £2,000 to him to make an
example of Lady Eva. Holmes resolves to recover the letters by whatever
means necessary, as Milverton has placed himself outside the bounds of
morality.
