âThe Adventure of the Bedeviled Footâ is at once an exciting prequel to as well as a sequel to âThe Adventure of the Devilâs FootââSherlock Holmes' âstrangest case.â
Holmes and Watson were supposed to be on vacation of sorts amongst the Cornish greenery and archaeological treasures, since it had become clear enough that the pressure of the detectiveâs investigations had taken a toll on his nerves, and a few days away from London in the country was prescribed. But their excursion was rudely interrupted when murders most heinous came to light. The so-called Devilsâ Foot was a deadly substance of unknown origin that kills when inhaled.
The earlier story directed our attention to the unflawed greenery of the Cornish countryside. âThe Bedeviled Footâ finds Holmes on the African veldt combatting the Devilâs own legions of marauding âlittle buggers,â where he encounters the root of that curiously toxic devilâs foot for the first time.
