Charles Augustus Milverton is the worst man in London, at least according to Sherlock Holmes. The man is an unrepentant blackmailer, whose only goal is to inflict as much harm on his targets as possible. Holmes's latest client, Lady Eva Blackwell, has hired him to negotiate a deal with Milverton to avoid the release of some imprudent letters before her impending marriage. Unfortunately for Holmes, Milverton's not interested in making a deal, which means Holmes will have to resort to more extreme (and duplicitous) methods. As Holmes tries his hand at besting the blackmailer, let his attempts bemuse and beguile you, as you fall into a night of warm and peaceful sleep.
