The Case of the Jolly Hangman
Prismark1030 October 2023
Sherlock Holmes travel to Glasgow to meet Inspector MacDougal, a near identical cousin of Inspector Lestrade.

Holmes is enquiring as to the apparent suicide of William Hooper a travelling salesman. His widow thinks it was murder and that his death by hanging was made to look like suicide. Williams had been having bad dreams before he died.

After his investigations Sherlocks Holmes deduces that William saw something in his childhood related to his father's murder.

Maybe in Glasgow he saw someone that triggered his memories that he might have actually seen his father's killer.

Well it was a preposterous story and a pretty dull one where Holmes does not come out looking too smart.
