The provincial Berlstone is excited: the rich squire, philanthropist and soul of local society, John Douglas, was allegedly found dead – someone penetrated his house and shot at point blank range from the shotgun. While Scotland-Yard identified the disfigured corpse and put forward versions of the murder, one implausible than the other, Sherlock Holmes found that Douglas is alive and stunted and hides in his mansion, and the murdered person-someone Ted Baldwin, who appeared to Berlstone from distant America, and the skull himself turned Douglas himself. These people clearly had a common past, but what made them fatal enemies? The horror valley once tied these two blood, and now one of them has no place on the ground, while the other walks along it.
