Description
The villagers of the tiny hamlet of La Morte Rouge in Canada are terrified - a legendary glowing monster has reappeared, flitting through the nearby fog shrouded marshes, sheep have been found dead, their throats cut. Holmes and Watson are attending a meeting of the Royal Canadian Occult Society when Lord Penrose hears of his wife's death. Holmes offers his help which Lord Penrose declines.
But a letter delivered to Holmes and Watson written by Lady Penrose before her death, expressing a vague fear for her life and pleading with him to come to the village. Holmes and Watson instantly cancel their plans to return to London. As Holmes says: "Consider the tragic irony: We've accepted commission from a victim to find her murderer. For the first time we're retained by a corpse".
