When retired naturalist Aldous Prichard begins finding birds dead on his Hampshire woodland, with no wounds, no disease, and no explanation, he writes to Sherlock Holmes not in alarm, but in bewilderment. What ensues are dead ends and evidence that leads nowhere or cannot be placed in a theory that leads to a solution. The forest is there. Holmes can read it. But the mystery remains. Why are the birds dying?

The Case of the Silent Falling is a Sherlock Holmes mystery in the classical tradition: Watson narrating, Holmes observing, and the truth arriving late. But it is also something rarer: a case where the detective himself must wait for the answer and where the Forest is as much a subject as a setting. And sometimes, the resolution is less a revelation than a way to move on with one's life.
