First sentence: To SHERLOCK HOLMES she is always the woman.
Description: A woman is dying - a sudden and mysterious death in the middle of the night - and her last words are a blood-curdling shriek about a "speckled band." What does it mean? And how did she die? No one can figure it out...no one, that is, until Sherlock Holmes comes on the scene...
