About this ebook

The first editor who read this story rejected it, saying it was too “sordid” for Sherlock Holmes fans!

(Note: "A Respectable Lady" is a short story. It is also available in the author's 10-story collection, Daggyland #2.)

* * *

The year is 1881. London. The Victorian era. A man and woman meet in a restaurant for a quiet chat. Or it a war?

Their paths have crossed before, and it ended badly.

Now, one of them will have to make amends. What transpires between them tonight will shape the Crown’s battle for law and order well into the next century.

This controversial pastiche first appeared in Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine.
