‘I’m sorry, John. The world is not ready to read ‘The Giant Rat of Sumatra.’’
‘That family got away with hideous crimes…’
‘Yes, and Mr Holmes could not furnish a shred of proof against them.’
‘That’s why I must publish the case. I’ve taken great pains to alter the names and places.’
‘Oh please! Even I can read between the lines! You cannot defame people in this manner… especially those in positions of power.’
