Holmes and Watson go head-to-head with new and old villains, and once again solve
the unsolvable, in a new adventure written by Jonathan Barnes.
Autumn 1900. The lives of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson are in a state of
change. The doctor has moved out of Baker Street, waiting anxiously to marry his
new love, the American actress, Genevieve Dumont. Holmes has been left restless
and fretful, eager for mystery and distraction.
A secret code and a brutal murder promise to bring the two men back into each
other's orbit. But there is more to the investigation than first appears to be the case.
Something greater seems to be at work, moving dextrously behind the scenes: a
force in the London underground known only as The Seamstress of Peckham Rye.
