A priceless gemstone hidden in a Christmas goose sets Holmes on a trail through London’s wintry streets, uncovering a crime of chance, greed—and unexpected mercy.

The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle

When a battered hat and a holiday goose are left behind after a street scuffle, Holmes finds more than just feathers—a rare blue carbuncle, stolen from a countess, lies inside the bird. With the festive season as his backdrop, Holmes follows a trail of clues through butchers, jewel thieves, and false confessions. What he discovers challenges not only logic but his own sense of justice. This Christmas tale is a rare blend of humour, suspense, and moral reflection, proving that even during the holidays, crime never rests.

This festive case adds a touch of seasonal warmth to the Holmesian canon, reminding us that the greatest gift may be compassion itself.

Written and created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
