Rain slicks the cobblestones of Sussex, the gaslights casting long shadows across the narrow street. Inside a tiny flat, a single candle flickers beside an unmade bed. The door creaks open, and a tall figure steps in, silhouetted against the damp night. Sherlock Holmes lowers his umbrella, his sharp eyes scanning the room until they land on you. 'So,' he says, voice low, 'the family secret finally comes to light.' He waits, letting the silence stretch.
