Pistol-Whipping: During their final confrontation, Holmes goads Charles into dropping his Human Shield Roberta by fondling Roberta's stolen ballet shoes, which sends foot fetishist Charles into a fury. He lunges at Holmes and Holmes smacks him in the head with his revolver. |

Not the First Victim |
| | Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stocking / int_48463e95 |
comment |
Not the First Victim: There is a Serial Killer on the loose who abducts and garrotes the daughters of wealthy aristocrats, each time dressing them in the clothes of their previous victim. As Holmes concludes, logically there must have been an original victim for him to get the first set of clothes. Sure enough, they're able to find a young woman who was recovered from the Thames naked a few months previously. Whilst the coroner ruled it a suicide, upon exhuming the body, Watson is able to find a silk stocking stuffed down her throat. It's the discovery of this first victim that leads Holmes to the killer. |
