The Case of the Cunningham Heritage
Mon, Oct 18, 1954
Dr. John Watson has just returned to London, after being wounded while serving with the military in Afghanistan. While looking for a place to live, a friend puts him in touch with Sherlock Holmes, and the two agree to share lodgings in Baker Street. Holmes proves an interesting if eccentric companion. When Holmes receives a message from the police, Watson learns that he is a private consulting detective, and soon finds himself assisting Holmes in investigating a murder case. Peter Cunningham has been found stabbed to death, with his fiancée standing over him holding a knife - but Scotland Yard's Inspector Lestrade is baffled by the lack of a motive for the crime.
