Arriving at Riding Thorpe Manor, Holmes and Watson are devastated to learn that they’re too late. Hilton Cubitt is dead and his wife, Elsie, is gravely wounded. While local police suspect an attempted murder-suicide, Holmes's investigation reveals a more sinister truth. Through brilliant deduction and his knowledge of the dancing men cypher, Holmes identifies the real killer and sets a clever trap. But will the murderer take the bait?
