A look at Sherlock Holmes in his "retirement" years as a news reporter is curious about the whispers at the University of a mysterious man rumored to be exploring and examining corpses in the dead of night. If it isn't related to a crime, what could he possibly be searching for? The Retired Detective hints as that.

This lead story is joined by another shorter tale as Sherlock and Doctor Watson are pulled into solving a maze set up by Lewis Carroll and the maze master, Mr. Townsend. Also included is one of Arthur Conan Doyle's unabridged classic tales, A Case of Identity.
