**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Mr. Aloysius Garcia, Garcia

**First appearance:** 0002-the-adventure-of-wisteria-lodge

## Snapshot

A Spanish gentleman of obscure origin who takes Wisteria Lodge on strange terms, then vanishes into the night leaving a corpse on Oxshott Common.

## Who they are

Garcia arrives in the quiet Surrey neighborhood as a man of evident education and continental polish, but his insistence on paying well above the going rate for his lodgings and his odd hours mark him as someone with something to hide. His death on the common, followed by the flight of his servant and cook, transforms a placid village into the scene of a murder investigation. The question of who he really was, and what business brought him to Wisteria Lodge, drives the entire case.
