Sherlock Holmes: The Musgrave Ritual

"Whose was it? His who is gone. Who shall have it? He who will come."

It’s time for Holmes to rewrite history! In this accessible adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic, Sherlock Holmes is visited by an old school friend, Reginald Musgrave. Troubled by the mysterious disappearance of his butler, Richard Brunton, and a maid, Musgrave seeks the genius detective's help. 

The only clue is a cryptic, centuries-old family document known as the Musgrave Ritual. What starts as a search for a missing servant quickly evolves into a high-stakes hunt for a long-lost royal treasure. This simplified retelling maintains all the suspense and intellectual thrill of the original, making it an ideal introduction to the world’s most famous detective.
