The Onion Vendor's Secret

Stapleton may be dead, but the West Country still feels the effects of his crimes. Sir Henry Baskerville has asked Sherlock Holmes and Mr. Lestrade to resolve a peculiar little problem: one of Stapleton's victims has died and her heirs have a very different idea of how to plead damages. The question begs: what is Abraham Quantock's real motive for demanding the deed to Merripit House? And why are the gossipy villagers suddenly silent? The only ones in a position to notice anything are the Onion Johnnies...and who would ask the likes of them for information? This is a Canonical Sherlock Holmes Pastiche.
