Dr. John Watson resumes his records of his friend's adventures with the adventure of the Empty House. This story alone contains several rich nuggets. The understatement of the death of Watson's wife, the introduction of the only character in Holmes lore that was a true threat on the scale of Prof. Moriarty, and the "face in the window" that would re-appear in a later adventure as well as in one of the Basil Rathbone films.
