Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s master sleuth, Sherlock Holmes, ponders evidence in a baffling new mystery for 2014, “Sherlock Holmes and The Case of the Unforgiven,” during Cape May’s Sherlock Holmes Weekend, March 14-16. In this mystery, Holmes accepts an invitation to aid a United States senator in his quest to locate secret documents which, if found by the wrong people, would have disastrous results for many high ranking government officials. For Holmes, the decision to assist the senator brings him face to face with notorious characters from his past. Throughout the weekend, participants will get in on the chase during the Search for Clues Tour, vie for the $250 grand prize, among others, and enjoy performances, lunch and an optional theatrical production.
