The Adventure of the Illustrious Client

Sir James comes to 221B Baker Street on behalf of an anonymous but illustrious client. The case concerns General de Merville's daughter, Violet, who has fallen for Baron Adelbert Gruner. The man has a bad reputation and Sir James hopes that if his misdeeds can be proven by Holmes, Violet will agree to break off the engagement. Just how bad the Baron’s actions have been and how to prove it is what Sherlock Holmes will have to find out. "The Adventure of the Illustrious Client" is part of "The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes".
