I wonder if there's a pastiche where Holmes does away with Peterson and his wife, and then sells the gem on the black market. I think there are definitely a few stories out there where Holmes has turned his mind to crime.
Ooooh! Cool idea! If there isn't a pastiche in which Holmes does away with Peterson and his wife then there definitely should be! *g* I can't remember the title of the book, but Michael Dibdin wrote a novel in which Holmes was Jack the Ripper. After reading it, I threw it across the room and stomped on it.
I know the TV series filled him with the Christmas spirit though.

Yes, in the Jeremy Brett episode, Holmes and Watson put off their Christmas dinner to go down to Scotland Yard and ensure Jack Horner is released. Then they show Jack Horner reuniting with his wife and two small children. Call me sentimental but I like the ending of the Brett version.
