“I think, Watson, that if we drive to Baker Street we shall just be in time for lunch.” — Sherlock Holmes

The Five Orange Pips

When John Openshaw visits 221B Baker Street, he brings with him an envelope containing five dried orange pips—an eerie family omen. His uncle and father received identical warnings before their untimely deaths. Now, John fears he is next. Holmes takes the case, diving into a web of vengeance stretching back to the American South and a ruthless secret society. As storm clouds gather, Holmes must race to uncover the truth before fate delivers its final warning. This tale explores the power of legacy, the reach of hidden enemies, and the bitter cost of justice delayed.

This haunting chapter deepens the series’ exploration of past sins and international shadows, showing Holmes at his most analytical—and most human.

Written and created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
