The Adventure of the Second Stain, one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 13 stories in the cycle collected as The Return of Sherlock Holmes and the only unrecorded case mentioned passively by Watson to be written. Doyle ranked The Adventure of the Second Stain eighth in his list of his twelve favourite Holmes stories. Lord Bellinger, the Prime Minister, and the Right Honourable Trelawney Hope, the Secretary of State for European Affairs, come to Holmes in the matter of a document stolen from Hope's dispatch box, which he kept at home in Whitehall Terrace when not at work.

Watson and Holmes are engaged by the prime minister and the European secretary to help recover a sensitive stolen political document. Tracking the document to a recently murdered spy, Holmes realizes that the European secretary’s wife actually has the letter. The questions immediately pile up in this tale of international intrigue, blackmail, and double-dealing.
