'The Boscombe Valley Mystery' is one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Arthur Conan Doyle. Holmes asks Watson to accompany him to Boscombe Valley to assist in a peculiar case revolving around the death of Mr Charles McCarthy.

Inspector Lestrade asks for Holmes's help after Charles McCarthy is murdered, and his son, James, is implicated. McCarthy, and another local landowner, John Turner, are both Australian expatriates, and Lestrade was originally engaged by Turner's daughter, Alice, who believes James is innocent. Holmes interviews James, and then inspects the scene of the murder, deducing a third man was present. Realising Holmes has solved the case, Turner confesses to the crime, revealing that McCarthy was blackmailing him due to Turner's criminal past.
