This original story by Agatha Christe has been preserved with the exception that Sherlock Holmes retells it to Dr. Watson with illustrations designed to help the reader visualize same. Dr. Watson anxious to learn what became of The Sovereign Order of Monte Cristo and the heirs it was established to protect asked Sherlock Holmes, "So, what became of The Count of Monte Cristo's daughters we last heard of in the antebellum South?""Do you want me to skip right past the Civil War and into this present time?" Holmes replied."Not entirely, but for now yes, can you please continue the story presently, I was just wandering since you jumped into the local Styles case in more modern time not involving Monte Cristo.""Very well then, let me give you the connection between Styles and The Secret Adversary adventure also involving my dear student Agatha Christe. In this story, I will disguise Agatha as Tuppence, Monte Cristo's granddaughter as Jane Finn and myself as Mr. Carter.""You mean to say that one of Monte Cristo's granddaughters has a connection to Agatha Christe, your protg and that you are involved with The Order in today's world?""Yes, my dear Doctor, you will now learn that The Order is ever at work, and not only I am involved but The Count himself appears disguised in the story as a different 'count' from America.""May I know which granddaughter, that of Mercedes or Haydee?""The fact that she speaks French may give it away for you, but let me not give too much away now so that you will more thoroughly enjoy this wonderfully true, mysterious adventure.

Beloved Humorist. Best-Selling Author. ... Consulting Detective. Now it can be told: Mark Twain’s adventures with Sherlock Holmes, Watson, Mycroft, and Irene Adler. As part of his autobiography, Samuel Clemens dictated seven stories that he later ordered burned. Discovered at a Pennsylvania farm auction and edited by Pulitzer-Prize winning editor, Bill Peschel, they uncover the Mark Twain nobody knew: who interfered in a marriage proposal, organized a boxing scam, and went grave-robbing. A Twain who also caroused with a young John H. Watson in San Francisco’s Chinatown; needed Holmes’ help with a blackmail plot; tangled with Mycroft Holmes and kidnappers in Morocco; and ran up against Irene Adler and a vengeful German officer in Heidelberg. Most of these stories — four featuring Holmes, and one each with Watson, Mycroft Holmes, and Irene Adler — appeared in the 223B Casebook series collecting Sherlockian parodies and pastiches. These tales are now available in this exclusive complete edition from the Peschel Press.

After they depart, a man named Mr. Whittington approaches Tuppence, and he leads her to his office. He overheard their conversation, and he wants to propose a job offer to Tuppence. He wants her to go to France to a place called Madame Colombier's for about three months. When he asks her what her name is, she doesn't want her father to think anything bad, so she says,"Jane Finn." Immeadiatly, Mr. Whittington gets very angry and says, "How much do you know? And how much do you want?" Tuppence manages to get fifty pounds off him, then she leaves. She and Tommy discuss the situation at an expensive restraunt and decide to try and find out who Jane Finn is. The next day they recieve two letters: one from a Mr. Carter, and one from a Julius P. Hersheimmer. They decide to tackle Mr. Carter first, and he happens to be from the Intelligence. They tell him all they know, and he tells them about Jane Finn-and their adversary Mr. Brown.
