Join Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson as they investigate the murder of George Wathley, a London tea-importer, whose business has expanded into smuggling vast quantities of opium, alcohol, diamonds and jewelry. The story begins at 221B Baker Street, where the smuggler's nephew, Victor Wathley, has asked Holmes for help in finding out what is happening to his uncle, who is behaving very oddly. Recent events have included the murder of one of Wathley's friends in the tea industry, a brutal beheading, where the body was dumped outside the victim's house. When they venture to George Wathley's house in Horsham, events take a grisly turn, leading them into The Case of the Beheaded Smuggler.
