The Adventure of the Three Gables by Arthur Conan Doyle

Holmes investigates an odd case in which a woman is pressured to sell her home under strange conditions, followed by the theft of a manuscript. As he digs deeper, Holmes uncovers a plot of revenge orchestrated by a scorned lover seeking to destroy a rising author’s reputation. The plot blends blackmail, manipulation, and literary ambition. Though less intricate than some cases, it shows Holmes’s tenacity and sense of justice. A story of bruised pride, personal vendettas, and quiet triumph.
