Silver Blaze

Silver Blaze is a Sherlock Holmes mystery in which the famous detective investigates the disappearance of a racehorse named Silver Blaze and the murder of its trainer.

Holmes focuses on 'the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime,' noting that the dog did not bark, which indicates the crime was committed by someone familiar.

This observation is crucial to solving the case, highlighting Holmes's skill in noticing what is absent rather than present.

The story showcases Holmes's powers of deduction and his attention to detail.

Published in 1892, it remains one of Doyle's most popular Sherlock Holmes stories.
