The plot thickens in "The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Serrated Scalpel"

This is where I learned the word "taxidermist"...

After following one lead after another, I discovered the identity of the possible murderer of Sarah Carroway in Covent Garden. It took me some time beating several patrons of the Moongate Pub, as well as the bartender, at darts. The name led me to yet another series of London locations where I presumably found the murder weapon as well: the famed serrated scalpel!

Skipper's goin' down!

Using the unbeatable nose of Toby, Holmes's favorite search dog, we found our way to the docks where the murderer was doing some business with a yet to identified stranger. We caught the murderer, but the stranger vamoosed in the struggle. Locked up in jail, the murderer isn't exactly cooperating, so we need some more dirt on him to make him talk.

Run, Sherlock, run!
Following some other leads I had abandoned for a while, I finally learned the name of that rugby player. Talking to him led me to yet another handful of locations and now in search of the victim's sister, Anna. After three hours of gameplay, it seems I have finally discovered the true motive behind the killing, and what is actually at stake here.

Once again succeeded in making a grown man cry...
After exhausting all other leads, I've returned to jail to confront the killer and indeed, he gives us another name, the identity of the second man at the docks. Could this lead us to the final chapter in this story? The answers seem to lie in a small pawn shop. Let's go find out!

I just knew someone posh was involved...

As far as I can tell, The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Serrated Scalpel isn't currently available for purchase anywhere, though you CAN vote to put it on GOG!
