| A haunted house, a mysterious kidnapping and a poet's demonic
visions are just the beginnings of three connected cases that
lead Sherlock Holmes into confrontation with the infamous black
magician Aleister Crowley and, more sinisterly, his scorned
Scarlet Woman. |
| The fact that Dr Watson did not publish details of these investigations
is perhaps testament to the unspoken fear he and Holmes harboured
for the supernatural. The Case of the Scarlet Woman convinced
them both that some things cannot be explained by cold logic. |
