"LONDON (Reuters) - A collection of long-lost papers giving a rare glimpse
into the private life of Sherlock Holmes' creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,
was sold at auction in London for almost $1.7 million Wednesday.

The sale took place against the against the backdrop of the bizarre death of
a leading Holmes expert, who had opposed the sale and was found strangled
two months ago."

Seems to make a great plot.  PC's investigate the murder, uncover
bibliomancers engaged in a fatal feud.
