Arthur Conan Doyle once remarked that "The Adventure of the Speckled Band," first published in 1892, was his best Sherlock Holmes story. In it, a young woman, Helen Stoner, consults Holmes about her ill-tempered stepfather whom she suspects had some part in the death of her twin sister, Julia. She fears her stepfather has the same plans for her: he has forced Helen to move into the mysterious and disturbing room in which her sister died under suspicious circumstances. In order to save Helen, Holmes must solve the mystery of Julia's last words: "speckled band."
