Showing results for "Corvus" in Mystery

For over 400 years, the Corvus Brotherhood has been plotting for vengeance. As their plans near completion, the brotherhood is, somehow, connected with: a spring-heeled tiger, a condemned murder suspect about to be hanged, the deathly communications of a society spiritualist, and even Mycroft's sudden disappearance.

The society spiritualist, Mrs. Hayden is seemingly able to converse freely with the recently departed at her popular gatherings. Holmes and Watson remain skeptical, until they attend one of her remarkable seances....

All Margie Majors ever wanted was the mythical American dream she was taught to want: a hard-working husband, a house in a place that had neighborhood BBQs, a white picket fence, two kids, and a dog.

The compelling evidence confirms that there is nothing irregular about this investigation, and that Charles is clearly as guilty as sin. So, why is Holmes suddenly taking a keen interest in the case?
