A look at Sherlock Holmes in his retirement years as a reporter is curious about the whisperings at the University of a mysterious man rumored to be exploring and examining corpses in the dead of night. If it isn't related to a crime, what could he possibly be searching for? The Retired Detective hints as that. The lead story is joined by a shorter tale by the same creative team as Sherlock Holmes is pulled into solving a maze set up by Lewis Carroll and the maze master, Mr. Townsend. Also included is one of Doyle's unabridged classic tales, A Case of Identity, illustrated also by Wayne Reid.
