Een wanhopige echtgenoot benaderd Holmes en onthult dat zijn liefhebbende maar nu vervreemde vrouw het slachtoffer kan zijn van chantage of misschien zelfs van ontrouw. Hij legt uit dat zijn vrouw eerder getrouwd was geweest en een kind had gehad die in Amerika was gestorven aan gele koorts. Na een gelukkig huwelijk van drie jaar komt ze hem opeens om geld vragen. Hij geeft het haar, maar heeft geen idee waar het voor gebruikt wordt. Holmes gaat op onderzoek uit en denkt het mysterie te kunnen ontrafelen. Ondanks dat Holmes alles te weten kan komen over de eigenaar van een achtergelaten pijp, kan zelfs hij soms tot de verkeerde conclusies komen.Arthur Conan Doyle werd op 22 mei 1859 geboren in het Schotse Edinburgh. Hij heeft medicijnen gestudeerd aan de Edinburg University, zodat hij dokter kon worden. Na zijn studie verliet hij Edinburgh en reisde hij een tijdje mee aan boord van verschillende schepen als dokter. Hierna werd hij legerarts in Zuid-Afrika tijdens de Boerenoorlog. Hiervoor werd hij in 1902 geridderd en moet hij ‘Sir’ Arthur Conan Doyle genoemd worden. Toen hij terugkeerde naar Engeland en zijn eigen praktijk opende, begon hij met schrijven. Hij begon met het schrijven van detectiveverhalen en heeft naast de Sherlock Holmes-verhalen nog ongeveer dertig andere boeken gepubliceerd. Doyle overleed uiteindelijk in 1930 op 71-jarige leeftijd.
