Story: Two years after Holmes's death Watson places an advertisement in The Times asking for biographical information on his friend. One evening, returning home to Baker Street, he thinks he sees Holmes's shadow on the blind, but when he gets upstairs the room is empty. A note in Holmes's violin case reminds him of a violinist named Victor Sigerson, but when he looks up Sigerson in Holmes's index books the relevant pages have been removed. He later receives a letter warning him to give up his investigations into Holmes's past.

The following day Watson receives a visit from Wiggins, now a consulting psychiatrist, who tells him of a missing patient. Watson describes a woman, who fits her description, he has seen standing opposite 221B. That night he finds more pages have been cut from Holmes's index books.

At St. Giles' Hospital Watson encounters Wiggins's patient, Nannerl, who greets him with the words, "You have been in Afghanistan, I perceive." Wiggins receives a note from the letter-sender, and refuses to allow Watson to see letters Holmes has sent him. As Watson is leaving they discover Wiggins's dog, Toby, with its throat cut.

At a concert at St. Paul's, Watson sees a woman in red, whom he suspects to be the writer of the notes. She flees, and he is attacked when he follows her. At Baker Street the next day he is told that an old man has tried to remove Holmes's index books. He discovers an attempt to tear pages from his own notebooks, and begins to read them.

The notebooks tell of an early case: Holmes is asked to analyse the varnish of a violin for a violinist named Victor Sigerson. He discovers it is a Stradivarius. Later, he hears Sigerson playing and is enchanted. Following Sigerson, Holmes watches him playing snooker, and later beating Lestrade, juggling, and making deductions equal to Holmes's own. Holmes takes a violin lesson with Sigerson, and deduces that the violinist is deliberately concealing his true identity, and is manipulating the situation to satisfy some fascination he has with Holmes. Eventually, after spying on Sigerson in his hotel room he learns that he is really a woman, Violet Sigerson, an orphan, who asks Holmes to investigate her family background. Holmes follows Violet to Edinburgh where she falls ill after performing an escapology act.

Later in the year, Holmes is asked to assist in the delivery of some letters from Ludwig II of Bavaria to the French Government. At first he is reluctant, until he learns that Sigerson is with Ludwig. In Bavaria, Holmes sets out to rescue Violet from the King, while also protecting the King from his enemies. After Holmes is injured in a carriage accident, and Sigerson and Watson locked in the Neuschwanstein dungeons, they are called upon to prevent a suicide bid by Ludwig. Later, at Berg Castle, they fail to prevent the drowning of Ludwig, Sigerson and Dr Gudden in the lake.

Irene Adler arrives at the Baker Street rooms, and, later, Nannerl, and the truth about Holmes's relationship with Sigerson is finally revealed.

Danny decides to organise a lottery to pay for the damaged book.

NOTE: Daniel Nathan is the real name of the pseudonymous Frederic Dannay, one half of "Ellery Queen". It is likely that many of the characters, if not all, are based on real people. In the 1915 US Census, the Nathans are living at 157, High Street, Elmira, and Mr Nathan is still managing a liquor store, not the tailoring store of the story (although he did later become a tailor).

After interviewing the famly and servants, the trail leads to a group of biochemists, carrying out research into halting the aging process, who have formed a Templars guild in Kensington. One of the scientists is murdered. When the murderer is discovered it seems there is insufficient evidence to take him to trial, so a trap is laid at a riding stables.

At one of Florence Stoker's soirées, Beauregard announces his engagement to Penelope, but is summoned away to the Diogenes Club. The ruling cabal there is somewhat depleted, but Mycroft sets Beauregard on the trail of the Ripper. Genevive sees Beauregard at the Schön inquest, where Lestrade suggests that Holmes would have solved the murders easily. Genevive makes enemies of a number of elders in a bar-room brawl, and Beauregard faces a group of infamous criminal masterminds, including Moriarty and Moran, in Limehouse, who for their own reasons offer their support in hunting the Ripper.

Seward records the events surrounding Dracula's first visit to England. A Deadly Chinese adversary is set on Genevive's trail. Seward meets Mary Kelly at Lucy's tomb. Liz Stride is brought, still alive after her attacker was interrupted, to Toynbee Hall. Beauregard is summoned, but she goes berserk and is killed before she can be questioned. Beauregard and Genevive begin working together. Riots break out, apparently fuelled by the Diogenes Club.

Penelope voluntarily becomes a vampire. Seward enters into a relationship with Kelly. Colonel Moran disposes of the man he believes is the Ripper, but is punished for his mistake. Inspector Mackenzie detects a conspiracy but is murdered before he can reveal its root. Beauregard and Genevive discover the Ripper's identity, then pay a visit to Buckingham Palace.

Andrew notices a number of strange people seem to be taking an interest in Dennison, and sees him apparently abducted in a cab.

Holmes is consulted by Lytell who has been involved in a fracas at his father's club, the events of which he has little memory of. He fears that it may have led to the death of his father from a heart attack that same night. Later, Holmes is called on by Walker whose import-export business has suffered a minor arson attack after he has refused to act as a fence or pay protection money to a mysterious man in a hansom cab.

Dennison fails to return, and an attempt is made to abduct Andrew, who finds himself rescued by the Wigginses. Holmes turns down Mrs Harker's request to return her daughter from Paris where she has been taken by her father, but after Gregory consults him over the bombing of Baker Street Station he decides to travel to Paris after all.

Wiggins finds Andrew a job taking care of a blind street fiddler, Ben. Andrew finds himself in a fight in a slum, defending their fish and chips. Ben is interested in the man who attempted to abduct Andrew, and questions him about Dennison and his parents. Together they steal Watson's stethoscope, and Ben lets Andrew in on a secret.

The bomb squad clear Christie's, where Lytell is selling some family paintings, after which Holmes discovers the paintings have been replaced with forgeries. He calls on Andrew, who, accompanied by Screamer, assists in bringing all the strands together and the cases to a close, and is reunited with his mother.

For several months they find no trace of Moriarty, then Holmes himself disappears. He reappears, playing Strawberry Fields Forever, but his holographic representation appears unstable. He announces that through reconsideration of the binomial theorem he has been able to locate and contain Morarty.

At Sigerson's hotel, Strickland introduces Sigerson to Hurree and reveals that he is Sherlock Holmes. A hotel servant is killed, his body covered in blood, which will not stop flowing, the attack on him appears to have happened in the room assigned to Sigerson. Ferret-face is seen fleeing the hotel.

Holmes tells them of the true events at Reichenbach, and of several attempts on his life since then. The following day, after a visit to the Bombay Natural History Society, Holmes announces he has solved the case, and arranges for Hurree to meet him in his room later that night. Lying in wait, Hurree and Strickland witness the murderer at work, and Holmes reveals the nature of the servant's death, and that Colonel Moran was behind the attempts on his life. For safety's sake Holmes and Hurree take a train to Simla, with Holmes managing to divert a Thuggee attack on the way. In Simla Holmes spends his time preparing to journey into Tibet.

Holmes and Hurree journey into Tibet with Kintup as their guide.

In Lhassa, the Dalai Lama's secretary Yonten tells them that Holmes has been called to protect the young Dalai Lama's life. Holmes declines the task.

That night a Chinese assassin breaks into the Lama's palace and steals a Mandala. The man is killed but not before a mysterious figure, with the power to make objects move by themselves takes the Mandala from him. Yonten tells them that the man they saw was the Dark One, responsible for the murder of the last Dalai Lama. The Mandala was the property of the first Dalai Lama. Holmes and Hurree plan to infiltrate the Chinese Legation to retrieve it. There, they discover that the Dark One is actually Moriarty, who demonstrates the rediscovered powers of his mind, which also enabled him to survive Reichenbach.

Holmes is able to retrieve the Mandala, and escape the legation. He travels to the Ice Cavern of Shambala with Hurree, Yonten and the Dalai Lama. They are attacked by Manchu troops, but manage to gain entrance to the temple, where Holmes solves the secret of the Mandala.
