When his teacher points out that it is usually people who are killed in detective stories, he reminds her that two dogs were killed in The Hound of the Baskervilles, which is his favourite book. His father discovers the book he has been writing details of his investigation in and throws it away. When Christopher tries to find it, it is no longer in the bin, and he eventually finds it in his father's cupboard, along with a pile of letters seemingly written to him by his mother after her death, from which he learns that she left with Mr. Shears and is not dead.

He discovers who killed the dog and decides to travel to London to live with his mother. He makes his way there by train, and after living with his mother for a short time, she moves back to Swindon with him, where attempts begin to reconcile Christopher with his father.

Story: Ex-Cox's bank clerk, Munns, moves into 221B Baker Street, on the advice of Old Stamford, taking Mrs Hudson's suite on her retirement to the South Downs. His fellow resident is Frederick "Wiggins" Wigmore, an actor whose hobby is "helping people". Munns also starts spending time at the Diogenes Club, with his uncle, Simon Bliss, who also makes a habit of helping out with problems.

Wiggins tells him of his time in the Irregulars and how he has tackled cases for people who have come looking for Holmes since his retirement, and asks him to become his partner. Bliss tells his page, Jack, to watch new club member Czinner, and he overhears him in an argument with a visitor, Jarrett, whom he later finds murdered. One look at the dead man convinces Bliss that there is a plot afoot against the king, who he was clearly meant to impersonate. Munns who was visiting his uncle when the body was found, brings Wiggins into the case, who discovers that Sophie Bernard, the King's latest mistress is involved with Czinner. Bliss learns more of Czinner from Rothschild, and of Sophie from the Duchess of Devonshire. All the signs suggest that the plot, whatever it is, will come to fruition at Sandringham on the King's birthday. Wiggins sets the Irregulars to find out who Jarrett really was. A burglary by the Irregulars provides details of Czinner's doings, and a list of spies, and Wiggins's investigations turn up Czinner's body, pulled from the Thames, and information on Jarrett's relationship with Sophie.

Bliss obtains an invitation to Sandringham, and arranges through Ponsonby for Wiggins to appear in a play as part of the celebrations. Wiggins arranges watches to be kept on the principals of the plot, and a collision with Sophie's carriage. Munn's faces Lubscher's brutish manservant and Bliss infiltrates Jack into the Bernard household. Lord Esher is brought in to help work out a plan of action at Sandringham, where action is taken to save the King and discredit Lubscher, and Wiggins performs on and off stage. Munns and Jack are taken as hostages, and the case ends in a shootout with some unexpected participants.

Story: The new manager of Claridge's finds a portfolio left in the safe by Anstruther's son. It contains a manuscript by Watson.

After an evening at the Lyceum and Simpson's, Holmes and Watson return home to find Abberline and Thicke waiting for them. They ask for Holmes's help in solving the murder of Polly Nichols. Holmes examines the body and the murder site, but concludes that all that can be done is to wait for the next murder, although he returns to Spitalfields the next day, but meets with no success in learning anything. On his return from a week spent on the Manor House case, he is summoned to the site of Chapman's murder, where he finds an expensive cigarette end that the police have overlooked. He sets the Irregulars on the case and Wiggins arrives with cigarette ends found at a spot where Chapman had been seen with a man. Scotland Yard ignore his findings and carry out a series of arrests and releases of suspects. Believing he has given up the case, Mycroft and Randolph Churchill, at the instigation of the Queen attempt to convince Holmes to continue his investigations.

While Watson is at Baskerville Hall, the Ripper takes two more victims. Holmes sets up a vigil in Whitechapel, and follows a man he believes to be the Ripper, but is too late to prevent Stride's murder, and is mistaken for the Ripper, attacked and knocked unconscious, before he can follow the man, who goes on to kill Eddowes. Holmes receives word of the second murder in hospital and travels to the scene to investigate. Another cigarette end is found. His investigations take him to all quarters of the district, including Toynbee Hall. On his return from Baskerville Hall he disappears for several days. When he returns, he has sent for Eddowes possessions, among which he focuses on a cufflink, which, along with the cigarette ends, suggests a possible royal connection. Holmes takes Watson to a house in Chelsea where they encounter Wilde, Shaw and the Duke of Clarence. Holmes reveals that during his absence he had followed several young men, wearing identical cufflinks, to the house.

Holmes is sent a kidney by the Ripper, and receives a visit from Churchill, who seems to know more about it than he is telling. Mycroft expresses concern at the effect Holmes's suspicions would have on the country. The Prime Minister insists they be kept confidential until action can be taken. Watson plays snooker with the Prince of Wales, who sends Burton-FitzHerbert to act as their palace liaison, from whom they learn about Stephen, the Duke's tutor & companion in Chelsea. Johnson brings information about Cleveland Street. Mary Kelly is murdered. After touring all the murder sites, Holmes believes he has found the Ripper's means of escape. It is only years later that Holmes reveals the truth of his investigations to Watson.

Story: Weston, grandson of Mycroft Holmes, reads of a case of stolen research papers at Pinehurst Laboratory. He has decided to travel down to Dorking to investigate when he is called on by Inspector Twigg and the lab's director, Heath. The papers have been stolen from a locked, guarded room, monitored by security cameras. Recently the laboratory's guard dog had gone mad and had had to be shot. While they are looking at photos of the lab, Weston and his assistant Taylor are shot at. After commissioning some work from an artist friend in the West End, and lamenting the reconstruction of London, they travel to Dorking. Some scrapes and scratches, and a glass bead are the only clues that their examination of the crime scene turn up. One of the guards, however, refers to his sense of something, like a cloud, hovering just past the edge of his vision on the previous night. Weston demonstrates, with the apparatus commissioned from Tom Rainwater, how the crime could have been committed.

Back at Baker Street, he examines traces of clay on Heath's keys, and argues with him about the existence of God. Examination of security video from the lab shows a black dot travelling down the corridor. The following day he receives word that Heath has committed suicide. A search of his house reveals the nature of the glass bead, and allows Weston to deduce the nature of the device used in the burglary. He interviews the other scientists at the lab, breaks into one of their houses and visits a car showroom. Taylor suffers a mental trauma while on stakeout, and he and Weston prevent a suicide and convert a Hindu. They return to Pinehurst with an invisibility apparatus invented by Weston to discover the nature of the genetics work that is being carried out there in secret. He infiltrates a Satan cult, and gets beaten up by a gang of London billies before bringing the case to a demonic close.

Story: A policeman has his throat torn out on Whitechapel Station. Conan Doyle is called in to examine the body and makes an unorthodox deduction about the killer. Members of the Temporal Observer Corps call on Wells, believing that their quarry, a cross-time terrorist named Drakov, and the scientist he abducted, Moreau, may have influenced his writing. An actress at the Lyceum dies, apparently of a vampire's bite. Chinese apothecary, Lin Tao and his granddaughter, Jasmine, have a new lodger, 'Morro', in the rooms above their Limehouse shop - he, too, is searching for Drakov.

The Time Corps take samples from the Whitechapel murder to be analysed in the 27th Century, and confirm that the killer is a genetically engineered werewolf. Doyle examines the vampire victim. Inspector Grayson gets a lead from Wilde, but his quarry is already a prisoner, and is becoming a vampire. Moreau encounters Wells, enlists his help, and introduces him to time travel. There are further werewolf killings. Grayson interviews Stoker, about the Lyceum murder, who tells him of a meeting with Count Dracula.

Meanwhile, Drakov has taken Time Corps member Ransome prisoner, and attacks are made on other members of the team, who move bases to Wells's house. Lin Tao sets the Green Dragon Tong to search for Drakov, and they locate Dracula's base, but he and Drakov have relocated to Transylvania, where an army of creatures is being created. Stoker and Doyle are taken prisoner. The final showdown comes in Castle Dracula.

NOTE: In The Zenda Vendetta, book 4 of the series, it is revealed that General Moses Forrester was Murray, Watson's orderly at Maiwand. No mention is made of this in other books in the series.

Story: An armed robbery takes place at aChristie's auction of architectural ephemera, and the lone lady member of the audience is abducted. A week later, Watson, working as a locum in Deptford, receives an anonymous note summoning him to Beckworth Park Road, where he will discover that Irene Hastings, a close friend, "is not what you think she is". He re-encounters Holmes, chafing at retirement, who suggests a trip to Austria.

They arrive in Vienna on the same train as Harry Houdini, and the following day meet up with Sigmund Freud, who is engaged in an argument with Adolf Hitler. Houdini's performance is cancelled, when his wife, Bess, is abducted, but he rejects Holmes's offer of help, only changing his mind when his assistant, Frances Lane, also disappears. Watson realises that Irene Hastings is also in Vienna.

Houdini meets with kidnappers, who require him to assist in breaking into the Imperial Palace. Holmes reveals to Watson that they are in Vienna at Mycroft's behest, and that their mission is linked to the theft from Christie's. Holmes must work to find out the reason for the planned break-in and rescue the Houdinis. The Black Hand, an electric car, and an invalid Austrian illusionist known as the king of Clubs, all play a role in leading Holmes, with a little help from Freud, to a solution.

Story: Gaston is forcibly removed from the sanatorium that he has been sent to by his family. Watson forces Holmes to take a holiday in France at the family home of Holmes's friend Henri Gillet. Holmes agrees, on condition that they visit Jules Verne en route. While waiting on the station in Boulogne, they observe a man who seems to be fixated by the rain.

In Amiens, at the town's Lent Carnival, they witness a political protest that ends in murder, and shortly thereafter an attack on Verne by his nephew, Gaston. Holmes resolves to investigate Gaston's reasons for shooting his uncle. After preventing an assassination attempt on Gaston, Holmes finds himself drawn into the world of a secret criminal organisation with far-reaching tendrils.

Verne is reunited with his son, and with the aid of Nadar and a hot air balloon, arrangements are made for Gaston's future. Holmes visits Gaston's father and the sanatorium in Blois, where he also receives a warning and a commission from Mycroft. In Corbie, they attend a speech by François Fournier. During the Vernes' thirtieth wedding anniversary celebrations at Versailles, matters come to head.

Story: Countess Elaina is rescued from footpads by the American, Thomas Howard, who is in London looking for his brother Hank. Elaina takes him to see Sherlock Holmes. Inspector Rosier summons Holmes to Surbiton to investigate the latest in a series of jewel robberies. Tension builds between Howard and Holmes until Holmes reveals Howard is really Jesse James and he is forced into revealing his true reason for being in London: tracking down the Pinkerton agent Cage Liggett, who firebombed his mother's home. When the feud leads to James being framed for a bank robbery, both Holmes and the Countess put plans in place to bring out the real culprits, and assert their own styles of justice, while the theft of the Star of Persia from the Royal Museum also sets them against each other.

NOTE: The fire-bombing of his mother's home, which James says happened at "the tail end of January just past", actually occurred in 1875, several years before the first meeting of Holmes and Watson.
