A look at Sherlock Holmes in his "retirement" years as a news reporter is curious about the whispers 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.

This lead story is joined by another shorter tale as Sherlock and Watson are pulled into solving a maze set up by Lewis Carroll and the maze master, Mr. Townsend.

Also included is one of Arthur Conan Doyle's unabridged classic tales, A Case of Identity.
