Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: Secret of the Silver Earring

Background

In May 1897, Sherlock Holmes accompanied by Dr. Watson comes to a party organized at Sherringford Hall of Sir Melvyn Bromsby, construction tycoon. All guests were invited to welcome his daughter, Lavinia who has just returned to England. In fact, Sherlock Holmes was more attracted by the famous singer Gallia who was supposed to perform during this reception. It is rumored, that during his opening address, the host is to announce something of great importance concerning the future of his business. It is 11 P.M. People crowd near the bar. Sir Bromsby appears, accompanied by his chief associate, Hermann Grimble. He takes his place on the stage. He barely starts welcoming his guests, when suddenly Sir Melvyn Bromsby falls to the floor. There is a darkening red stain visible on his tuxedo right over his heart… The Guests panic and Lavinia Bromsby runs toward her dying father…

Holmes decides to act quickly, not waiting for the police to come.

Inquiry begins…
Why was Sir Bromsby so worried before he started his opening address? Lavinia Bromsby, his lovely daughter, is she so innocent? Who and what was the murderer trying to hide with this murder?
