《拇指案》中雇主史塔克上校要工程师海瑟里先生到一个偏僻的地方，修理好雇主的机器并要求他对工作内容保密，并愿支付巨额费用。工程师修好了史塔克上校的机器，但此时该史塔克上校欲杀人灭口，最后工程师被砍掉拇指，逃离了现场。海瑟里先生回到伦敦向福尔摩斯报案，福尔摩斯认为史塔克上校与铸假币案有关，连同警方追捕他们，只可惜去到现场史塔克上校早已逃去无踪。

As usual with the Sherlock Holmes stories it is very hard to say which are the best - but there are many stories here which would get the vote - ranging from The Boscombe Valley Mystery to the wonderful Adventure of Silver Blaze, from the Adventure of the Norwood Builder to A Case of Identity, but above to the uniquely strange and macabre Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb..

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was born in Edinburgh where he qualified as a doctor, but it was his writing which brought him fame, with the creation of Sherlock Holmes, the first scientific detective. He was also a convert to spiritualism and a social reformer who used his investigative skills to prove the innocence of individuals.
