His mood is only lifted by a visit from a beautiful but distressed young woman - Mary Morstan, whose father vanished ten years before. Four years later she began to receive an exquisite gift every year: a large, lustrous pearl. Now she has had an intriguing invitation to meet her unknown benefactor and urges Holmes and Watson to accompany her. And in the ensuing investigation - which involves a wronged woman, a stolen hoard of Indian treasure, a wooden-legged ruffian, a helpful dog and a love affair - even the jaded Holmes is moved to exclaim, 'Isn't it gorgeous!'","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48128392069278,"sku":"UBD-9780140439076","price":19.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780140439076.jpg?v=1786540099","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780140439076","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
