Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson tackle one of their strangest cases in this story, which borders on science fiction. Summoned to the university town of Camford, the Great Detective meets an eminent, aging physiologist who has been behaving oddly of late, including his relentless romantic pursuit of a young woman. But the greater mystery concerns who or what may be behind the nocturnal appearances of an ape-like figure that moves rapidly through trees, terrifying the locals.
