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

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.

Arriving in London, Dracula is enrolled

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,

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

encounters Holmes and Watson. His romantic life

various delivery services. The sender 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.

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
wonders if the same effect could have been applied
to an explosive. Holmes realises that Moriarty was
responsible for the Krakatoa explosion. He must act
to prevent a similar fate befalling London, and
Watson must impersonate Rybka to help him do so.

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.
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.

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".

the Eolwyn Empire, they fall foul of Duke Telmar, and
encounter the female-dominated society of the Quentarah.
Meanwhile, Jenny's spirit's mind enters a state of
