Story: Moriarty returns to London and to his "Family" and learns that Holmes is also back. Moran, who has killed his gambling partner, Adair, is resentful of Moriarty's return. Moriarty calls a gathering of his chiefs of staff from around Europe. Moran disobeys Moriarty's orders to avoid Holmes and attempts to kill him, getting himself arrested in the process. Moriarty receives members of "The Family" with requests for aid, or simply paying their respects. When Moran is captured Moriarty decides to take action before he can talk. He also puts into play an investigation into Paget's girlfriend Fanny's past.

He recalls how he put an end to the Ripper murders. Fanny is sent to take food to Moran in prison, and Spear is instructed to take revenge on Halling, the butler who had her fired from her previous position. Revenge is also to be taken on those who have deserted him while he has been absent, and on Tappit, who threw acid in Ann Mary Dobey's face. We learn about Moriarty's family background and the fate of his elder brother, the first Professor James Moriarty. Paget scopes out the site of the harrow robbery.

Crow is put on the Moran murder case in place of Lestrade and told to investigate rumours that Moriarty is back in London. While Moriarty's men are out finding out what state Moran has left the organisation in, Spear is captured by the Peg. Meanwhile Holmes refuses to co-operate with Crow and we learn the truth about the events at Reichenbach. Moriarty is shot and an all out attack is made on the Peg and Butler's men, and Spear is rescued, after which Moriarty learns that one of the women close to him is a traitor.

Crow's investigations lead him back to Moriarty's involvement in the de Goncourt Scandal. Moriarty uses the recent clash with the Peg's men to facilitate the release of the Jacobs brothers from prison and take revenge on the deserters. His European associates arrive in London and begin to plan a campaign of anarchy and assassinations throughout the continent. Moriarty announces that he will assassinate the Prince of Wales.

Crow asks Mrs Cowles to marry him. Spear exacts vengeance on Halling. Paget and Fanny get married, Crow infiltrates the ceremony, and Green and Butler the wedding party, after which the traitor is revealed. Crow is given extra men to find Moriarty's headquarters, but Moriarty plans to move headquarters and Paget decides to leave the organisation. He sets Crow on Moriarty's trail to cover his escape and Crow learns of the assassination plot and endeavours to prevent it.

Crow marries Mrs Cowles, but uses their honeymoon in Paris to continue his investigations, which lead him on to the United States. Moriarty leaves America and returns to London where he plans revenge on Crow, Holmes, and the European allies who turned against him after his failed assassination plot. Moriarty seeks out Holmes's cocaine supplier and Irene Adler, arranges the forging of the Mona Lisa, sets up a jewel robbery, and recruits and trains an Italian girl. Things go wrong and the jewel robbery ends with a police chase, but Moriarty still gets his revenge on Schleifstein. Crow comes in upon its aftermath, discovers a murder, and has the Commissioner to dinner.

Moriarty travels to Paris to make the first Mona Lisa switch. He puts a new, attractive maid into Crow's house and returns to Paris as an American to put his plot against Grisombre into action. Sal tells Moriarty she is expecting his child. Sanzionaire receives a summons to London, learns that Crow is interested in his movements, meets Carlotta and has his confession heard by Moriarty.

NOTES:
Sean O'Lochlainn
: It has been suggested that this is a reference to John H. Watson - Sean being the Irish form of John. The "O" prefix in Irish surnames means "grandson of" and perhaps we can equate the "Wat" of "Watson" to water which links with the "Loch" of "Lochlainn".
Lord Seiger: Siger Holmes : "His lordship comes from Yorkshire - North Riding, if I'm not mistaken" (P.80) is clearly a reference to Holmes's father in William S. Baring-Gould's Sherlock Holmes of Baker Street: "Siger and Violet Holmes [of the] farmstead of Mycroft in the North Riding of Yorkshire." (p.11))
Sir James le Lein, agent of His Majesty's Secret Service: James Bond ("Lien" is French for "bond")
Kaplan-Sheinwold test (P.70): Used to establish the weapon used in the attack. It is named after a bidding system in the game of bridge, developed by Edgar Kaplan and Alfred Sheinwold.

The Jacoby Transfer method (P.84): Used to compare the blood of two individuals to establish whether they are related. It is actually another term for bids at bridge, named after its creator Oswald Jacoby.

Watson admits that although he shared rooms with a man who matched Holmes's description, his accounts of his intellectual abilities are pure fiction, although he did have amazing luck in successfully solving cases. Watson is approached by an American, Eakins, shortly after the death of Mrs Watson. Eakins tells Watson that he is a time traveller. He presents Watson with the next day's Standard as proof, and Watson challenges him to travel back in time to solve one of the headline stories, the "Trevor Mystery". When Lestrade asks for an explanation of how he solved the mystery, Watson develops Holmes's system to cover up the time-travel angle. Eventually Watson fells guilty that they are using the time belt for their own gain and glory, when they could be using it to prevent the tragedies that, instead, they are using it to "solve" and publish. Others start to suspect Holmes, including Moriarty, and Watson realises that Holmes is prepared to kill to keep his secret.

Lestrade (son of Holmes's Lestrade) introduces them to Dr Christopher Moran, with who Harrelston had been playing cards prior to his death. That evening Watson tells John that Joanna is the daughter of Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler.

Story: After her mother's funeral, Mary Jekyll has to let the household staff go.
After discovering a reference to Hyde in her mother's bank papers, Mary consults Holmes, hoping that there may be a reward still on offer for the capture of Hyde, but when she travels to Whitechapel with Watson, she discovers that the Hyde in question is his daughter, Diana, a wild child whom the society's director insists Mary take away with her. Holmes, meanwhile, is investigating a series of brutal murders of women, all of whom have had body parts removed, and after accompanying Watson to view one of the victims, Mary suspects that Hyde may be the murderer.

An old letter to her father leads Mary to realise that Hyde and her father might be the same person, and to meet with Beatrice Rappaccini, "The Beauty who Breathes Poison". Beatrice mentions the Société des Alchimistes, which their fathers had been members of. Mary visits Purfleet Asylum with Holmes to interview Renfield, and, on their return, with Diana's help they rescue Beatrice from Professor Petronius. A letter to Beatrice takes them to the circus, where they meet Catherine Moreau and Justine Frankenstein, and are pursued by Beast men as they leave.

Renfield escapes, and Mary returns to Purfleet with Holmes, where they meet Seward. Justine and Beatrice are abducted and some of the girls' old acquaintances reappear. The case culminates with a battle in a warehouse, but the girls and Holmes are left with the mystery of the Société des Alchimistes still to solve.

Story: Visiting Mammoth Studios to pitch a movie, Groucho and Denby discover the body of German director, Denker, on the Baker Street set of a movie version of The Valley of Fear. They learn from the girl who found the body that this is the second death in five days, and discover a number 4 scrawled in his own blood by Denker on the cover of a Strand magazine. The film's writer, Clair Rickson, is found passed-out drunk, yards from the body. Ravenshaw, the actor playing Holmes, who is a former policeman, challenges Groucho to solve the murder before he does.

Investigations reveal that Denker was having an affair with the dead art director, but his anti-Nazi stance may also have provided a motive for the murder. Groucho learns that Denker's widow has received threatening letters, and Denker finds anti-Semitic literature, is knocked unconscious, and encounters an old friend investigating a suspected blackmailing. Ravenshaw announces that he will name the murderer at a Christmas party being thrown by him and his wife, but Groucho learns details of his past which don't gel with the story he is telling.

Denker receives a threatening letter and Groucho faces Nazi sympathisers in a German Rathskeller and is shot at at Denker's funeral, while Ravenshaw disappears. After finding Ravenshaw, Groucho calls a press conference on the 221B set to reveal the murderer's identity.

A ballooning trophy, won by Dr. [sic] Moriarty was stolen at the same time and replaced with a replica. Holmes and Watson must become members of the club in order to investigate. Holmes makes contact with Porlock who tells him of a massive weapon Moriarty had developed before his death, and that the Moriarty Gang has been taken over by a Greek named Gemenden, who is working with a German mechanic, Rybka. Meanwhile the gutter press is full of stories of the giant rat of Sumatra, which has been seen near the docks, and which Holmes connects with Moriarty's papers on gigantism.

He must act to prevent a similar fate befalling London, and Watson must impersonate Rybka to help him do so.

He wished to reimburse her for a violin he had scavenged from her father's rubbish once, but she wishes to consult him about the disappearance of her father, now an artist, who she had believed to be living in Ceylon, but has recently discovered to be back in England. She arranged to meet him at the British Museum but he did not show up. She also mentions a trip to the Louvre in which she saw an unfinished painting that was an exact copy of the Mona Lisa and thought that she overheard her father's name in an argument. Some time later the real Mona Lisa was stolen. The room in which she saw it was the office of Holmes's own cousin, Peter Vernet.

A visit to Vernet reveals that his copy of the Mona Lisa was to be used in a plan concocted by Kern to effect the return of the original, in which Ryder will be framed, for a short time only, as the thief. He also tells them of a meeting with Ryder, who seemed to be ill, and of Ryder's arrest for the theft of a Botticelli. After visiting Ryder's wife, and discovering that she too used to be an artist, with a passion for Napoleon, Holmes is taken to the dying Ryder by Lestrade, and they arrive in time to hear his dying words.

Both Holmes and Lestrade believe Ryder has been poisoned. Holmes suggests that there are two murderers, one of whom comes to Baker Street, but instead of being captured, makes a bet with Holmes and wins passage across the Atlantic from him. The other, Holmes has other reasons for not bringing to justice. The final puzzle is to trace the whereabouts of Ryder's money. Watson visits Holmes at his cabin near Dover where he learns the full facts of the case, and of the fate of the Mona Lisa.

Story:
After being wounded in Afghanistan, war correspondent James Wilson returns to England, and decides to retire to Hay-on-Wye. There he bumps into Ffoulkes, an old school mate, who introduces him to Cedric Coombes. Wilson and Coombes, both looking for cheap accommodation, end up renting a cottage together. Coombes is a voracious reader of books detailing the history of the world since 1914, and is a master of deduction.

The local police consult Coombes over the murder of an American visitor, who had been asking about a non-existent family called Languish. He has been killed in the bathtub of David Jenkins, who is away in Scotland, with a bunch of flowers in his bound hands, and the word Heigh-ho written in soap on the mirror. Jenkins' elderly neighbour claims to have seen a priest who has been dead for eighty years riding by on a bicycle. Holmes searches the cottage and finds a book about Abu Ghraib that seems to have been brought there by the murderer. Outside he finds a black pillowcase with eyeholes cut in it.

Wilson deduces that Coombes is really Sherlock Holmes, and Holmes tells him of the events in 1914, when he was sent by George V to deliver a case of documents to the Kaiser, that led to his body becoming frozen in a glacier, and his revival by Dr Coleman. He takes to calling Wilson "Watson".

Lestrade's grandson summons Holmes to Scotland Yard to look into the affair at Croxley Green, where he is sure something terrible is about to befall Colonel Davis. The case bears similarities to the death in Hay, and in addition, Davis's wife believes their rented manor house is haunted. After visiting his own doctor at Bart's, and meeting Sir Henry Baskerville's great-granddaughter, Holmes and Wilson call on Davis at St George's Hospital. Afterwards, they make a quick stop at the Sherlock Holmes Museum.

A blue Jaguar provides the final clue that unlocks the case, but a vigil in Davis's manor house initially fails to bring the expected outcome. A second perod of waiting brings the culprit into the open, and they learn of the events in Afghanistan that have led to the events in Britain.

After a pursuit in Switzerland ends in tragedy, Holmes visits Dr Jan Droon to witness his experiments on apes.

A silver Dragon is found in Holmes's clothes on display at Bart's but when he goes to claim it, he finds that his email has been hacked and the dragon stolen. He is called on by Sigvard Kipling, whose sister, Sylvia Swann, has been killed in the same room that her animal rights campaigner husband died six months previous. He believes that the young woman accused of murdering her, Isabel Rocamora, is innocent. Holmes is also approached by Kipling's nephew, Andrrew Swann, who asks him to investigate billionaire publisher Gerald Gurloch, who has been using his influence to undermine animal rights legislation, and attacks place against those involved in the official investigation into a phone-hacking scandal.

Wilson travels to the Windward Islands to search for an island that has disappeared from the maps. There he discovers lifesize replicas of London monuments, and is invited to dinner with monkeys, and learns of a threat to Great Britain. Rejoining Holmes in Switzerland, he is taken on a sailplane flight by an old adversary, and is given a Watsonian gift.
