Winter, and the Soggiorno Brothers' Traveling Wonder Show has pulled into its berth in Peru, Indiana; Sanford "Crash" Haus, proprietor and genius, and his friend, surgeon and retired soldier Jim "Dandy" Walker, are looking forward to a quiet few months.
But then the Show's old manager, Professor Sylvestri, comes into town, his ward in tow, and happily, too, because the Strong Man and the Tattooed Lady have just announced their betrothal, and the good Professor happens to be a minister. Preparations for the happy day begin, but it seems violence and misfortune attend on them...
The Case of the Tattooed Bride is the first of three new novellas following on from the stories in Two Hundred and Twenty-One Baker Streets. Includes the short story "A Scandal in Hobohemia."
