The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone

By Arthur Conan Doyle

The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone - In this entry from The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, the master detective is on the trail of the stolen crown jewel known as the Mazarin Stone. Knowing his activity on the case makes him a target for murder, Sherlock Holmes is preparing a ruse to smoke out the suspected thief. To his surprise, however, his quarry - a renowned big game hunter - comes directly to him, and as Watson slips away to get the police, an impromptu game of cat and mouse ensues. This is Holmes at his most creative and debonair. The hunter becomes the hunted, and the exchange between the two, before Doyle uncorks a truly startling endgame, is a pure delight.
