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.

Story: Holmes puts Crow onto Moriarty's
Berkshire hideout and secret bank accounts, but
insists that his involvement be kept secret, even
from Watson. 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. Moore Agar
gives Crow two weeks leave of absence on medical
grounds. Moriarty completes his humiliation of
Sanzionaire, both aboard the Rome-Paris Express
and back in London. He closes off Holmes's cocaine
supply, but fails to bring Segorbe back into the
alliance.
Irene
Adler is lured back to London and Moriarty
impersonates Holmes. Crow returns from Paris to
hear that Holmes is making a fool of himself, but
finds a suffering man at 221B. Together they
devise a plan to turn the tables on Moriarty.

Locations: Cherbourg; Rue King John II;
The Blue Dolphin; Quai Sainte Marie; The Docks;
Castle Cherbourg; Le Lein's Rooming House;
Benedictine Monastery; Warehouse; The Esprit
de Mer;
Story: A missing inn servant is discovered
naked and dying in Cherbourg. Darcy is sent to
Cherbourg to investigate the disappearance of the
Marquis, who had previously shown signs of mental
disturbance. The Marquis had been an agent of the
King working against a gang of Polish agents
provocateurs. Matters become more puzzling
when the dead servant is identified as the
Marquis, and Darcy discovers that Secret Service
agent, le Lein, disappeared on the same night as
the Marquis. After ruling out psychic attack,
demonic possession and multiple personality
disorder; a phial of brandy, the revelation of a
protected psychopath among the suspects, and a
secret tunnel point the way to a solution, and the
shipboard capture of the Polish agents.
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.

father is staked through the heart. His English
tutor, Mr Drummond ("Our family nickname is
Bulldog"), arranges with Vlad to send
Dracula to England, to be finished as an English
gentleman. Vlad informs Dracula that they are
vampires, and sets about training him in vampiric
skills. Harker arrives to arrange the purchase of
a property in Piccadilly.
Arriving in London, Dracula is
enrolled at Eton, and introduced to society.
Worried at his daytime lassitude, Drummond takes
him to his doctor, Watson. He meets his English
relatives, Roy and Shirley, and falls in love with
an Eton housemaster's daughter. At a
schoolfriend's home, he encounters Holmwood and
Van Helsing. After Eton, Dracula goes on to
Oxford. He witnesses his doctor, Jekyll, transform
into Hyde, and so goes to see Watson instead,
meeting Holmes for the first time. Drummond and
Stock enlist him to work for the Secret Service. K
sends him to Belgrade to kill a Russian spymaster.
He returns to Castle Dracula to find
it taken over by the unions. After resolving the
situation, he sails for England aboard the Demeter.
In Whitby he encounters the Harkers again, along
with their friends, including Stoker, who
persuades him to take to the stage. He negotiates
with Candler to make Castle Dracula a tourist
destination. He visits Seward's asylum. K assigns
him to the Ripper case, on which, during his
investigation, he again encounters Holmes and
Watson. His romantic life becomes more
complicated. He is sent to rescue a Serbian
prince, and has his final confrontation with Van
Helsing.

has received it from his estranged father, who
says that it will put his life in danger. He had
received it from his own father, Watson's
nephew.
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.

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.

wonders if the same effect could have been applied
to an explosive. Holmes realises that Moriarty was
responsible for the Krakatoa explosion. He must

Dover
Story: Holmes is visited by Ryder's
daughter, Rachel. 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.

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 series of attacks on Aston Martin owners. 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.
NOTE: Although a Grosvenor Square
furniture van appears prominently throughout the
story, this, being set in 2012, cannot be the case
that Watson referred to in "The Noble Bachelor".
