It was the summer of 1908,Holmes and Watson were holidaying in a little village called Kingsgate in Kent. They were staying in a charming little inn called The Fisherman’s Arms. A young girl called Mary Victor asks Mr. Holmes for his advice because she feels someone is following her. A man living in the same hotel keeps canaries which Holmes finds rather annoying, he calls himself Wainwright, but Holmes remembers him as Wilson a crook that Holmes helped put him in prison eight years earlier. Mary Victor is nowhere to be found and Wilson commits suicide after confessing to Holmes that he has murdered someone but he won’t say who, or where. Has Wilson really committed suicide or is it all a ruse.
