The Case of the Missing Lady
A famed arctic explorer, Gabriel Stavansson, asks the Blunt agency to find his missing fiance, Hermione Crane. Their investigation leads the Beresford’s to a sinister nursing home and a disreputable doctor with questionable medical practices.
Tommy Beresford adopts a Homesian mode for solving this case, even to the point of picking up a violin in his office and screeching out “a few chords from Mosgovskensky.”
Beresford’s technique is apparently pretty dreadful, for Tuppence, in the Watson role, cries out, “If you must be Sherlock Holmes… I’ll get you a nice little syringe and a bottle labelled Cocaine, but for God’s sake leave that violin alone.” Sherlock Holmes was created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) and alongside Poirot, is the most famous literary detective of all time. This short story appeared in Partners in Crime, published 1929.
