Canon Story: The Sign of Four
Title: Thorn in the Flesh
Author: Mary Sutherland
Rating: PG-13


I had one spine from Tonga's pouch remaining when I finished my toxicological analysis. Culverton Smith's old trick-box still sat on my mantle; place the thorn at its trigger and the opener's death would be swift and certain. An engagement present for Miss Morstan? A solution more final than cocaine? But instead I returned the hidden treasure to Jonathan Small.

Wow! This is DARK! We'll just hope this is a fleeting homicidal notion from Holmes... At least he decided against it!
