The Adventure of the Missing Three-Quarter

On the eve of a crucial rugby match, Cambridge University is thrown into turmoil when their star three-quarter, Godfrey Staunton, vanishes without a trace. His sudden disappearance threatens the team's chances of victory, but more importantly, it raises disturbing questions. Where has he gone? Was he taken against his will? And why is there an air of secrecy surrounding those who knew him best?

In desperation, the team’s coach, Cyril Overton, seeks out Sherlock Holmes to uncover the truth. With Dr. Watson by his side, Holmes embarks on a tense investigation, retracing the young athlete’s last known movements. The trail leads them through Cambridge’s hallowed halls, into the dark streets of London, and finally to a quiet countryside retreat where a shocking revelation awaits.

What seems at first to be a straightforward case of a missing sportsman soon proves to be far more complex, involving a web of hidden relationships, long-held secrets, and an unexpected tragedy that Holmes must uncover before it is too late. Along the way, he encounters reluctant witnesses, cryptic messages, and an emotional dimension to the case that is rarely seen in his usual investigations.

Filled with mystery, heartache, and Holmes’ unparalleled powers of deduction, The Adventure of the Missing Three-Quarter is a masterfully woven tale of love, loss, and the pursuit of truth—proving that even the world’s greatest detective cannot always control the outcome of his cases.
