Arthur Cadogan West, a young government clerk, is found dead by the railway tracks near Aldgate. On his body Holmes' brother Mycroft finds some secret submarine plans — 3 pages of which seem to be missing. These pages alone, in the wrong hands, could be used to build a Bruce-Partington submarine that would pose a threat to Britain. Cadogan West's head has been crushed, but it looks like there has been no robbery — was the assailant after the plans? On further investigation, with no evident signs of a struggle or violence inside any of the railway coaches or track-side, our heroes realize that this is definitely no straight-forward mugging.

The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans
London is foggy, and Sherlock Holmes is bored. And very unsatisfied by the fact that nothing interesting happens.
"The London criminal is certainly a dull fellow," said he, "Look out of this window, Watson. See how the figures loom up, are dimly seen, and then blend once more into the cloud-bank. The thief or the murderer could roam London on such a day as the tiger does the jungle, unseen until he pounces, and then evident only to his victim."
"There have," said I, "been numerous petty thefts."
Holmes snorted his contempt.
"This great and sombre stage is set for something more worthy than that," said he. "It is fortunate for this community that I am not a criminal."
The first half of the investigation is brilliant as usual, but ending is abrupt and the case is solved easily. It was a fun read though, I really enjoyed it.
It was one of my friend's most obvious weaknesses that he was impatient with less alert intelligences than his own.
