(LOOSELY BASED ON "THE ADVENTURE OF THE EMPTY HOUSE").
SHERLOCK HOLMES STARES DOWN AT THE BODY OF A YOUNG WOMAN, THE LATEST VICTIM IN A STRING OF GHASTLY MURDERS. HER HAND BEARS THE GRISLY TRADEMARK OF THE KILLER - THE RIGHT FOREFINGER HAS BEEN SURGICALLY SEVERED. THUS BEGINS "THE WOMAN IN GREEN", A TIGHTLY CONSTRUCTED, BRACINGLY ATMOSPHERIC ENTRY IN THE SHERLOCK HOLMES SERIES. HOLMES & WATSON SET OUT AFTER THE "FINGER MURDERER" AND UNCOVER A WEB OF BLACKMAIL AND DEATH WOVEN BY GLAMOROUS BLONDE HYPNOTIST LYDIA MARLOWE AND HER EVIL MENTOR, PROFESSOR MORIARTY. BESIDES ITS INVOLVING PLOTLINE, THE WOMAN IN GREEN FEATURES SOME OF THE MOST MEMORABLE SCENES IN THE SERIES: DR. WATSON, THE PRAGMATIC MAN OF SCIENCE, SCOFFS AT HYPNOTISM... THEN GOES UNDER LIKE A BRICK IN AN EXPERIMENT AT THE MESMER CLUB. HOLMES PLAYS A LOVESTRUCK SUITOR TO ENTICE MARLOWE. HE FOILS A WOULD-BE ASSASSIN BY SUBSTITUTING A BUST OF JULIUS CAESAR FOR HIMSELF. AFTER THE SNIPER BLASTS THE BUST TO SMITHEREENS, HOLMES EXPLAINS WHY THE RUSE WORKED. "DOWN THROUGH THE AGES," HE INFORMS WATSON, "PROMINENT MEN HAVE PROMINENT NOSES."
FIENDISH MORIARTY RETURNS FOR THE FINAL TIME IN THE SERIES. SUAVE & SELF-POSSESSED. DELECTABLY DANGEROUS.
