On their way back home, to the Ragged School in Waterloo Road, to have their photo taken, newsboys Danny Wiggins, Duff Bernard and Peachy Carnehan see Sherlock Holmes collecting Toby from Mr Sherman. Holmes later appears at the school and asks the boys for their help in investigating a series of child kidnappings. Pictures of the children in suspended cages have been received, but although the ransoms have been delivered, they have not been collected by the kidnappers, and the children have not been returned. He asks the boys to search the docks for possible places where the children might be being held.

Their searches lead them to a collapsing building and an encounter with a kidnapped bulldog, and their first meeting with Clair, daughter of Inspector Avery. Holmes and the Irregulars use Toby in an attempt to trace the missing children. When the boys' employer, Mr Mewsley, is arrested for the kidnappings, and Clair is abducted, it becomes more urgent that they discover the true culprits. Peachy and Wiggins explore an underground tunnel, and uncover a plot dating back to the Sudan.

Story: Bainbridge brings Barker a pawn ticket found in the sleeve of Barker's late assistant, Quong. What they redeem from the pawn shop, where the owner had died a month previously, is a secret manual from the Xi Jiang Monastery in Jiangsu Province. Ho advises them to show the book to triad boss K'ing, but Barker refuses. Bainbridge is shot as they leave Ho's Limehouse restaurant. The following day, Llewelyn is attacked by a Chinese maid and loses Barker's dog, which is later returned by Jimmy Woo, an interpreter. Llewelyn visits a Chinese bonesetter, and Barker is summoned to meet Campbell-Ffinch of the Foreign Office, who tells them that the Chinese Government wishes the book returned. After the inquest on Bainbridge, Ho is arrested. Barker's house is broken into, and Bainbridge's files are burned.

Their investigations turn up a dead monk, a dead gypsy chandler, and a sealskin coat. Llewelyn comes across another dead sailor, and reads of Lord Saltire's death, and Poole brings news that Ho is now suspected of being Mr K'ing. Barker's office is invaded by Hooligan and his men, looking to broker a deal between Barker and K'ing for the book. Barker collapses, and Applegate diagnoses kidney failure, and Llewelyn rides Juno to fetch Quong's father to help. Jenkins asks if he should refer clients to Hewitt. Llewelyn visits an opium den with Zangwill, now working as a reporter, in search of K'ing. They meet Forbes inside, and see K'ing outside.

As he recovers, Barker tours Limehouse. His houses are searched by the police. He and Llewelyn watch Campbell-Ffinch bare-knuckle fighting. Llewelyn takes a gypsy girl to dinner. The police catch a suspect outside Barker's house, leading to accusations over one of the murders. Poole suggests the case should have gone to Abberline or Swanson. Barker and Llewelyn attend a Chinese New Year party, and are taken captive at the following day's festivities by K'ing and taken to his underground lair, where he waits with his marmoset. Barker's ward, Bok Fu Ying, has also been taken captive. Barker agrees to face trial by combat. After the fight, he asks Poole to gather the suspects together.

Story: After the first two Ripper murders, Llewelyn and Zangwill's patrol of Whitechapel is interrupted by the unexpected appearance of Barker. Anderson enlists Barker to work on the case as an employee of Scotland Yard. Barker rents rooms at the Frying Pan Inn in Whitechapel.
After reviewing the case files, and meeting John Pizer, Barker and Llewelyn receive a summons from Baron Rothschild and another from Buckingham Palace.

A focus on the Jewish community of Whitechapel, and political wranglings at Scotland Yard complicate matters, while a visit to a male brothel disturbs Llewelyn. After a night at the theatre, they are summoned to the site of Liz Stride's murder and shortly thereafter to that of Catherine Eddowes. A body is found in the foundations of New Scotland Yard, and Barker and Llewelyn follow a bloodhound. Llewelyn is briefly reunited with Rebecca Mocatta, and tours the lunatic asylums of the East End. He gets a sewing job in a mantle factory, and Barker delivers a baby, before the killer is found.

NOTE: Llewelyn describes Jenkins's appearance at Scotland Yard as "Like seeing a tram car coming down a country lane" (P.92), the same words used by Sherlock Holmes in "The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans" to describe his brother Mycroft. Likewise, Barker's comment to Llewelyn "I never get your limits" (P.99), echoes that of Holmes to Watson in "The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire".

That evening an abduction attempt is made on him by a Hapsburg airship. A second attempt takes place in Market Blandings. He agrees to investigate the series of agents' deaths that Alice's and Mycroft's were part of. Oliver Twist assists Smith after the killing of the Byron Automaton and his abduction by Rochefort. His quest leads him to the Bookman's lair.

In Abyssinia, Lucy Westenra and a team that includes Lord Alfred Douglas are on a mission to capture the Church of Our Lady of Zion. After her return with the lizardine artefact she has recovered, she is told of Bram Stoker, missing in Carpathia, and taken before the Lizard Queen Victoria. She witnesses a meeting between Fogg and the Bookman, and hears the story of Orphan and Lucy from Miss Havisham.

The Council of Chiefs sends Houdini to London to find out what has become of Babbage. He remembers being killed at the White City Exposition in 1893, and his mission to Roanoke Island the following year, when he met Carter and the Bookman.

Smith meets Van Helsing in Paris, where he is continuing his search for the Harvester. They seek advice from Q (Quasimodo) in the catacombs, where they also do battle with Rochefort, and find Viktor (Frankenstein) in his ruined laboratory. They emerge from underground to find Paris on fire.

Houdini finds himself in Limehouse. Fagin leads him to Jonathan Harker, but he is taken captive by Paul Dombey.

Miss Havisham tells Lucy how the Bureau came to be interested in Stoker, and of Krupp's work on developing a new power source. The airship Stoker arives on comes under attack in Richmond Park.

Stoker's journal tells of his involvement with Krupp, and his journey to Transylvania.

Van Helsing and Smith face dog-men and the alien machines attacking Paris at the Eiffel Tower. On the streets below, Smith comes face to face with the Harvester.

Houdini is taken prisoner in Transylvania, and Lucy in London, before making her way to a rendezvous at the Palace.

Story:
Basil has been pursuing Professor Ratigan, and has almost succeeded in bringing an end to his criminal empire, despite having a Siamese cat set upon him by the Professor. He is visited by Edvard Hagerup, who asks him to join an expedition to Switzerland in search of the Adorable Snowmouse. An arrow, sent from Switzerland by the Faversham sisters, with their letter about the Snowmouse, is, Basil believes, a clue to the location of the Lost Colony of the Tellmice. Basil and Dawson travel to Switzerland where they discover that Police Chief Brunner has arrested two mice, Dickson and Carr, who are really members of Ratigan's gang.

Ratigan abducts the Faversham sisters. The soprano mouse Relda sings for the mountaineers. The expedition up the Emmentaler begins, despite Ratigan's attempts at sabotage. They face danger from an owl, a snake and an avalanche, and Basil faces Ratigan at Bachenreich Falls, before finding both the Snowmouse and the Lost Colony.

NOTE: The names of many of Basil's team of mountaineers are derived from famous Sherlockians. Presumably the others are too, can anyone tell me who Young Richard the American Mathematician from Davenport, Ohio; Howard the Geologist (possibly Howard Haycraft?); Gifford the Archeologist; and Photographer Jamaldi are?

Their son is born in New England, where she takes the name, Stillman. The boy, Archy, is blessed with the sense of smell of a bloodhound and can see in the dark. When he becomes sixteen she tells him about his father, now a gold-miner, and sends him to torment him by driving him out of any place he finds him. Archie sets out on the task, finding his father in Denver, and following him to Silver Gulch mining camp in Montana. Returning to Denver Archy learns that he has the wrong Jacob Fuller. He finds the man gone when he returns to Silver Gulch, and sets out to find him and restore his fortunes. He follows him all over the world, finally coming back to California where he rests up in Hope Canyon, another mining camp.
The black sheep of Hope Canyon is Flint Buckner, who has an English youth, Fetlock Jones as his servant. Although mistreated, he is scared to leave Buckner, but dreams of murdering him. He comes up with a plan after Buckner leaves him in a hole with a burning fuse. Archy helps find a missing child.

Holmes arrives in Hope Canyon, which makes his nephew Fetlock's plans to kill Buckner more complicated. Buckner is killed in an explosion at his cabin. After investigating, Holmes accuses Hillyer of the crime. Archy sets out to prove his innocence. Holmes challenges him on his deductions. Archy examines everyone's feet, and Holmes finds himself implicated in the murder. The murderer is imprisoned, Holmes is captured by a gang from Daly's Gorge, and Archy finally achieves his goal with both Fullers.
