Story
The Adventure of the Empty House, one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 13 stories in the cycle collected as The Return of Sherlock Holmes. Public pressure forced Conan Doyle to bring the sleuth back to life, and explain his apparently miraculous survival of a deadly struggle with Professor Moriarty. This is the first Holmes story set after his supposed death at the Reichenbach Falls, as recounted in "The Final Problem". The Hound of the Baskervilles had seen the return of a pre-Reichenbach Falls Sherlock Holmes, which only served to whet readers' appetites.

Forest Row in the Weald is the scene of a harpoon murder, and a young police inspector, Stanley Hopkins, asks Holmes, whom he admires, for help.

Nach meiner Entführung befand ich mich noch in einem Krankenhaus als uns auch schon gleich der nächste Fall ereilte. Ein Mann, Ende Dreißig, wurde unter starken Schmerzen in die Notaufnahme gebracht. Vergiftung, lautete die Diagnose, die er zum Glück aber überlebte. Daraufhin engagierte uns das Opfer, Mr. Walters, um den verübten Mordversuch, angeblich ausgeführt von seiner Ehefrau, an ihn zu beweisen. Die Angelegenheit gestaltete sich aber schwieriger als gedacht.
