Overview

The investigation begins with the death of a gardener, an event the household is quick to describe as accidental, even inevitable. The man knew the grounds intimately, the paths were familiar, and nothing, at first glance, appears out of order. Yet it is precisely this eagerness to explain away the death that draws Sherlock Holmes's attention. What follows is not a case built on violence or clever mechanics, but on intention and design. Holmes uncovers a pattern of decisions made slowly, defended as reasonable, and justified in the language of care and propriety. The disappearance at the center of the case is not the result of a single criminal act, but of an order maintained too carefully for too long.
