Fog City, Criminals, and Miss Holmes
Mystery · Historical · Romance At first, John H. Watson, who had crossed over into the foggy city, only wanted to make a living as a detective. Later, he became the invisible hand behind several unsolved cases. The widow of a man falsely accused with her own hands executed the one who framed him. An old man, stripped of everything, burned down his enemy’s mansion. The painter’s daughter ended her father’s life. Watson paves the way for those souls abandoned by the law, leaving elegant traces at every scene. …… Many years later, on top of the clock tower of St. Paul’s Cathedral. Miss Holmes points her sword at the person once closest to her, lightning illuminating her trembling hand. “All the evidence points to you…… the mastermind behind those unsolved cases.” Night deepens, and the bells echo. His smile blurs in the rain. “You’re wrong, my dear Miss Holmes.” “I have never incited any crime.” “I only believe…… that some justice cannot be given by the law. And private revenge, at certain moments, is reasonable and just.”
