Akcja rozpoczyna się w domu przy Baker Street, gdzie Sherlock Holmes przyjmuje nowego klienta jest nim dziedziczny król Czech, Wilhelm Gottsreich Sigismond von Ormstein. Oświadcza, iż jakiś czas temu miał on przelotny romans z pewną piękną i jednocześnie bardzo przebiegłą kobietą, Ireną Adler, urodzoną w New Jersey primadonną Opery Warszawskiej. Kobieta uznała ich związek za poważny i sądziła, że wezmą ślub. Jednak Irena nie mogła być królową, ponieważ nie wywodziła się z rodziny arystokratycznej. Gdy ona i król rozstali się, zaczęła grozić byłemu kochankowi, że wyśle ich wspólne zdjęcie fotograficzne w dniu zaręczyn jego przyszłej żonie, pochodzącej ze skandynawskiej rodziny królewskiej. W obawie przed skandalem władca, obiecując nagrodę, prosi Holmesa o odnalezienie zdjęcia i wykradzenie go Adler. Wcześniej wiele razy już przeszukiwano jej dom, jednak fotografii nie znaleziono.

Skórzany lejek. The Leather Funnel
Arthur Conan Doyle
Skórzany lejek to krótka, raczej upiorna opowieść, która koncentruje się na wizji snu, która nawiązuje do czasów, w tym przypadku do XVII wieku, kiedy ludzi torturowano przy pomocy najbardziej wyszukanych metod. Jak można się spodziewać, jest to bardzo dobrze napisana i interesująca opowieść jakby gotycka wersja niesławnego historycznego przypadku markiza de Brinvillliersa. Historia opowiadała o gościu, który odwiedził dom angielskiego kolekcjonera niezwykłych przedmiotów. W pokoju, w którym miał spędzić noc, znajdowała się biblioteka wypełniona zatęchłymi książkami oraz kominek z żarem połyskującym w mroku. Anglik poprosił swojego gościa o udział w eksperymencie po uprzednim wyjaśnieniu, że wyznaje pogląd, że sny mogą być bardzo odkrywcze i nie należy ich lekceważyć. Następnie pokazał gościowi średniowieczny, skórzany lejek, a dwaj mężczyźni spekulowali na temat jego użycia i pochodzenia, badając uważnie czubek lejka, który wydawał się być pocięty. A co było dalej czytelnik dowie się po lekturze opowiadania. Zachęcamy!
