Gibson’s wife, Maria, is found dead on Thor Bridge with a bullet hole in her head and a note in her hand. The note appears to be from the family’s governess, asking Maria to meet her at that spot. But despite a recently discharged revolver being found in the governess’ wardrobe, Gibson is convinced that she isn’t guilty. Holmes and Watson work together to unveil the truth.
