Romance Suspense
One crimefighter has personified brilliant logical deduction, ingenious observation skills, and an unfaltering sense of the elementary. That man is Sherlock Holmes. Then again, a little help never hurt anyone... Londoners are braving a snowy December day to see the unveiling of the Malabar Rose, a rare and remarkable ruby, and the British debut of the Great Salmanazar. A magician and illusionist extraordinaire, Salmanazar is the talk of Europeโespecially since his performances abroad coincide with daring thefts of famous jewelry. When a special representative of the Home Secretary begs Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to safeguard the Malabar Rose, Mrs. Hudson suspects that the Great Salmanazar is about to put something up his sleeve. Then the Malabar Rose vanishes in a highly baffling manner. Larceny is clearly afoot, and the formidable Mrs. Hudson must give a lesson in criminal deduction to that most logical of minds, the great Sherlock Holmesโฆ
