The Red Headed League is one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s favorite Sherlock Holmes tales.  In it, Sherlock must deduce the underlying motive for the Red Headed Leagues’ engagement of a clerk with fiery red hair, for an overly generous salary.  After alerting the police that a robbery will occur, Holmes comments to Watson that solving such problems serves to alleviate the boredom of everyday life that he so dreads.
