The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton - a Sherlock Holmes Short Story

Blackmail, scandal, vigilante justice, murder, and secrets. . . some of the myriad of components of this tale. A lady's honour is at stake. But the great detective seems helpless to tackle a serial blackmailer - ‘the worst man in London.'

A unique story which sees Sherlock and Watson performing a heist, witnessing a killing and ending up as suspects in Lestrade's investigation. All good stuff. Plus the resolution is morally ambiguous too. A stand out Holmes tale; recommended.
