Summer, 1901. For days, heat has been rising. London swelters; a long-expected storm
promises to break.
In Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes is visited by a peculiar American who arrives with a warning
about a strange new kind of murderer. In the West End, Dr John Watson is watching his wife,
the actress, Genevieve, prepare for her greatest role to date - only for her to be confronted by
a terrible ghost from the past.
There are surprising connections between these events, a web of apparent coincidence which
soon draws in others: Colonel Sebastian Moran, Mycroft Holmes, a dangerously ambitious
young politician and - waiting patiently for the moment to finally make her move - the
mysterious organising power at the head of the underworld, the Seamstress of Peckham Rye.
