Inspector Lestrade has stopped by Baker Street with a new case for Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. At first, it seems more up Watson's alley than Holmes's, as it may be a case of madness - someone has been smashing busts of Napoleon around London. But Holmes perks up when he hears that there is burglary involved, and the case soon gets deeper, when a burglary leads to murder. What is the significance of these strange events? As Holmes and Watson begin a new investigation, let their latest story help you as you drift away into a night into soft and restorative sleep.
