Hänen viimeinen tervehdyksensä : Muutamia muistelmia Sherlock Holmesista

A quiet stretch of shoreline near Eastbourne has become Sherlock Holmes’s sanctuary, the famed detective now tending gardens and musing on philosophy instead of chasing criminals. He has declined even the most prestigious offers to reopen old cases, preferring the simple rhythm of country life. Yet the gathering clouds of a looming war stir something restless in his keen mind, and a strange telegram arrives to test his famed reasoning once more.

The message, sent by a nervous clerk named Scott Eccles, hints at an “extraordinary and unsettling” affair that defies ordinary explanation. Holmes, ever the curious observer, reads the note aloud and invites the uneasy visitor inside, noting the peculiar timing of the request. As the clock ticks past two, the doctor‑friend listens as Holmes begins to untangle the cryptic clues, setting the stage for a new puzzle that may draw him back from retirement.
