Mickey finds himself trapped under a lorry, and Dan sets a plan in action to catch the hijackers. The following day he enacts a reconstruction of the opening of the jeweller's safe, and reveals the whereabouts of Fillmore.

Later that day, after interviewing Aberdeen, and Fraser, the last person to converse with Emily before her death, Watson has the man, Henry Clarendon, an actor, pointed out to him. Clarendon's account of his attempts to board the train, and Holmes's discoveries in a railway tunnel allow him to solve the case.

Story: Pike attempts to buy Griffin's journals from the landlord of the Invisible Man and learns that they have recently been shown to Crowley. Pike asks Watson to let him see Holmes's (who is away in France) index books to find out about Crowley, after which they learn that the landlord has been murdered and the books stolen, and that Pike is the chief suspect. The knife used in the murder is found to have a strange symbol engraved on it. Watson and Pike follow Crowley to Machen's house. They learn something of the symbol from Machen, and more when they visit Crowley, who denies ever having been at the Invisible Man. The two are abducted by two men who, after escaping, they follow to the German Embassy.

From Mycroft, they learn of Kleist, an Austrian embassy official, known to dabble in the occult. Watson sets Porky Shinwell to follow him. They break into Kleist's house where they discover a list bearing the names of many high-ranking officials, leaders of the Jewish community and Crowley. The also discover a secret in the cellar. Against their will they engage Crowley's assistance in infiltrating the Order of the New Templars.

When Watson and Pike are attacked by the man they believe killed the landlord, Lestrade enters into the investigation. It is clear that the Templars hope to create an invisible army, and Watson, Pike, Anderson and Crowley, set out to retrieve the evidence they need to bring the landlord's murderers to justice at the group's next meeting, and face an invisible man. Holmes shows up after it is all over.

Story: Watson visits Holmes in Sussex to find that he has discovered a way to reverse the aging process and extend the lifespan. He has already shared it with Mrs. Hudson and Mycroft, but refuses to release the secret to the rest of humanity.

In 1991, Holmes reads of the assassination of the Prime Minister, who has been found dead in her locked office. He travels to London to investigate, having spotted something in a newspaper photo. Mycroft is in charge of the Prime Minister's security services. In the Prime Minister's office, Holmes draws Watson's attention to an old book full of complex scientific formulae, then insists that they fly immediately to New York. He tells Watson that the mystery involves the Time Machine that he had been told of by his friend H.G. Wells, which is now in the hands of Moriarty who plans to assassinate the President.

They trail Moriarty to northern New York State, and Detroit, where a piece of paper found on the body of one of his minions directs them to seek out Lily Cantrell, a name from Watson's past, in Chicago. She has been blackmailed into joining Moriarty's organisation. Holmes and Watson offer her assistance, but when Watson accompanies her to Kansas City she leads him into a trap. As a captive of Moriarty he is transported to Salt Lake City, where Moriarty reveals his plan to kill the President , start a nuclear conflagration, and ultimately take over the entire planet. Holmes has infiltrated Moriarty's plant and sabotaged his device. He rescues Watson and Lily, and the bomb destroys Moriarty's factory as he is setting the Time Machine in motion.

At the beginning of the new century Holmes and Watson (now married to Lily) are watching a video of the assassination of a great South-East Asian leader. They see an image of Moriarty appear in the video. Holmes realises that the time between the Utah explosion and this appearance, is equal to the time between the assassination of Anwar Sadat and the Utah explosion. Holmes believes Moriarty is penduluming back and forth through time, influencing political assassinations. While holidaying on the Libration Satellite, another assassination occurs, and Watson encounters Moriarty. Watson decides to become a doctor on the satellite, while Holmes works out when Moriarty's reappearances will occur. A few years later Holmes arrives on the satellite disguised as a space sailor on a ship on which the entire crew and all the passengers have been killed by Moriarty's men. He tells Watson that he is moving on to Mars, and urges him to move there with Lily.

Their arrival on Mars, arranged by Siger Sherrinford, coincides with another assassination. Watson eventually discovers that the government on Mars is being run by a slimmed down Mycroft, assisted by Holmes. They are, however, unable to prevent a further assassination, during the course of which Moriarty captures Lily, the time shift depositing her in 19th Century San Francisco, where an extraordinary encounter occurs. Holmes finally puts his master plan, in development for many years, into operation to bring an end to Moriarty's campaign, but not before Moriarty is able to visit his own past.
