What happened in the Bishopgate Jewel case? Holmes solved it. "Very simple reasoning," he said. Yet the cause stretched all the way back to 1760, when the Bishopsgate was finally destroyed.

Back then, not all men of the cloth were upright. Not all barmaids would let themselves be used and abused. Jewels were not the only thing lost. This New Sherlock Holmes Mystery, the 61st, is the first of the 'Untold Cases' to be revealed by best-...
