The Boscombe Valley Mystery, one of the 56 short Sherlock Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is the fourth of the twelve stories in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. It was first published in the Strand Magazine in 1891. Lestrade summons Holmes to a community in Herefordshire, where a local landowner has been murdered outdoors. The deceased's estranged son is strongly implicated. Holmes quickly determines that a mysterious third man may be responsible for the crime, unraveling a thread involving a secret criminal past, thwarted love, and blackmail.

Inspector Lestrade asks for Holmes's help after Charles McCarthy is murdered, and his son, James, is implicated. McCarthy, and another local landowner, John Turner, are both Australian expatriates, and Lestrade was originally engaged by Turner's daughter, Alice, who believes James is innocent. Holmes interviews James, and then inspects the scene of the murder, deducing a third man was present. Realising Holmes has solved the case, Turner confesses to the crime, revealing that McCarthy was blackmailing him due to Turner's criminal past.

Holmes is brought into the investigation of what appears a simple, obvious case of a son murdering his father shortly after the son was seen by witnesses near, and at, the scene of the man's death.

Im westenglischen Boscombe Valley wird der Großfarmer Charles McCarthy an einem bewaldeten Teich tot aufgefunden, wo er einen wichtigen Termin mit einem Unbekannten gehabt haben soll. Da ihm Zeugenaussagen zufolge sein 18-jähriger Sohn James mit einer Waffe folgte und es kurz vor der Tat zu einem lautstarken Streit zwischen den beiden kam, scheint die Angelegenheit klar zu sein, zumal die tödlichen Verletzungen durch den Griff der genannten Waffe herbeigeführt worden sein dürften.

Auch wenn es der Öffentlichkeit verborgen bleibt, haben Sherlock Holmes und Lestrade endlich Klarheit im Fall "Jack the Ripper" gefunden – ohne jedoch den wahren Schuldigen zur Rechenschaft ziehen zu können. Umso willkommener ist da die Ablenkung durch einen einfachen Mordfall auf dem Lande: James McCarthy soll im Streit seinen Vater Charles erschlagen haben. Ein klarer Fall, wie es scheint... doch Holmes hat seine Zweifel... Im Oktober 1981 im "Strand Magazine" veröffentlicht, wurde auch "The Boscombe Valley Mystery" später Teil der Sammlung "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes".
