It's a dark and stormy night, and not a creature is stirring - except Scotland Yard inspector Stanley Hopkins. He has turned up at Baker Street to ask for Sherlock Holmes's assistance in investigating an inexplicable murder. A young man named Willoughby Smith has been murdered, and Hopkins has no idea why. The only evidence is the golden pince-nez that the murdered man was clutching in his right hand. From the appearance of the glasses, Holmes is able to deduce some details about their owner, but more investigation is needed, after a good night's sleep. As Holmes and Watson prepare to begin a new case, let their story help you relax and drift into another night of restful sleep.
