A compass in his hand, its needle held hard over, pointing at nothing anyone can explain. 🌫️ November 1889. The fog comes up off the Kentish marshes and does not lift for eleven days. Captain Alaric Thorne is found at his drafting table with the door locked from the inside, the window latched, and a doctor willing to sign it off as heart failure. His daughter does not believe a word of it. Three days before he died, a parcel arrived for her from Gravesend with no letter inside. 🔍 Holmes and Watson go down into Kent to a house with no trees around it, five chimneys, and a household where every single person has a reason to keep quiet. 🕯️ Every clue you need is in front of you. Two of them are hiding in the first twenty minutes.
