London, 1891. An inclement spring. When a young courtier is found dead at Windsor Castle, her face bizarrely disfigured in a terrifying display of misplaced artistry, Sherlock Holmes is summoned by the Palace to find the murderer and protect the Royal Family from a public scandal. Other cases oddly convolve with Holmes's mission, including the discovery of a body in the Serpentine and the desperate search for a mysterious saboteur within the ranks of a women's movement. Deceit, danger and death dog the footsteps of the Great Detective, his friend Dr John Watson and their young proťǧe Heffie O'Malley as their investigation takes them to the darkest corners of London in pursuit of a twisted killer who is sure to strike again.... Time is critical. And nowhere is safe, at least of all 221B Baker Street. more
