Synopsis:
Holmes is convalescing when bizarre death captures his interest.

Review:
An enjoyable episode until Holmes take a drug trip then it goes a bit silly. Some wonderful characters and a cunning murderer. The method of death was far fetched. Once again Holmes takes justice into his own hands.

	...He spent much of his time in long walks...
	The most extraordinary and tragic affair has occurred during the night
	Those staring eyes and gnashing teeth flashed past us like a dreadful vision
	We ascended the stairs and viewed the body
	Beside it sat the dead man, leaning back in his chair...
	Together we lurched through the door
	...He sprang forward with clenched hands towards my companion
