In the spring of 1912 Dr Watson has decided to retire from the practice. In order to rekindle his old friendship with Sherlock Holmes, he travels to Sussex for a short holiday, but within hours of his arrival Watson finds himself drawn into a series of terrible events surrounding the apparent death of Holmes's brother Mycroft, the mysterious kidnapping of a London safe maker, and the murderous attack upon a seaman. All of these events are interrelated, and Sherlock Holmes has to discover what lies at the root of it all, be it in London or Rome. 157pp, paperback.
