Publisher's Synopsis
The greatest detective of them all is back.
' I have heard, Mr. Holmes, that you can see deeply into the manifold wickedness of the human heart '.
Scandal, treachery and crime are rife in Old London Town. A king blackmailed by his mistress, dark dealings in Opium dens, stolen jewels, a missing bride - these are cases so fiendishly complex that only the great Sherlock Holmes would dare to investigate.
