"Two archaeologists in Rome, one of them a dashing bounder just returned from a failed elopement with an English girl. His colleague takes him at night to a new catacomb then traps him there; for he had loved the girl he had 'ruined'." (Books & Boots)
Although it is not speculative, this suspense/horror story is sometimes regarded as part of Doyle's genre work.
