Holmes and Watson are called upon by Eustace
Thorneycroft, private secretary to the Earl of
Puddingham. A pair of gold and diamond cuff-buttons,
part of a set of a dozen presented to the Earl's
ancestor by George I, have been stolen. Before Holmes
and Watson can travel down to Surrey to investigate,
the Earl's brother arrives with news that two more
pairs of buttons have vanished, and by the time they
arrive, a further two pairs have gone.
The Earl is assaulted, and another
button stolen from his wrist. Holmes's questioning of
the servants produces a round robin of accusations.
The chief suspect outwits Inspector Letstrayed and
escapes. Holmes, after stealing everyone's shoes,
begins his recovery of the buttons, adopting a series
of disguises in the process. A boat chase and a
rooftop adventure ensue.

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

Story: Responding to an advertisement in the
Times, Llewelyn finds himself working for
enquiry agent, Barker. His first case with Barker is
the murder of a Jewish teacher, Pokrzywa, who bears
a strong resemblance to El Greco's Christ, and who
has been crucified. Sir Moses Montefiore links the
murder to a growing tide of Anti-Semitism in the
country. They attend the dead man's funeral, and
arrange to talk with those who knew him. Llewelyn
continues his training in the skills he will need as
Barker's assistants and meets more of Barker's
contacts. Barker enquires into Pokrzywa's
relationship with Rabbi Moccatta's daughter, and in
his rooms they find his journals. Barker detects a
recent growing interest in Christianity in Pokryzywa
leading up to his death. Their continuing
investigations take them among Londons anti-Semite
and eugenicist communities. Llewelyn is shot at, and
the shooting may be linked to the Camorra. At a
meeting of Jews, Llewelyn hears of the Golem, and
finds himself working as a servant in a rabbi's
house. While he is there another biblical murder
occurs, this time a woman. A pitched battle in
Petticoat Lane and a betrayal lead the case to its
conclusion, after which Barker strikes a deal with
Lord Rothschild.

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".

call for the resignation of Prime Minister Moriarty.

book-bomb attack on the Rose Theatre by the Bookman.
Inspector Irene Adler is in charge of the
investigation into both cases. The next attack, at the
launch of a Martian probe, takes Orphan's fiancée,
Lucy, as its victim.
After he wakes in hospital, where he is
attended by Dr W., Inspector Adler hints to Orphan,
that Lucy may be able to be brought back to life.
After attending an animal baiting event, he thinks he
sees Lucy, and is abducted in a blimp by Mycroft, who
tells him of Sherlock's death and the reason why he
and Dr W., consort with resurrectionists. Mycroft
instructs Orphan to find the Bookman.
Orphan's quest takes him through the
human oddities and automata at Maskelyn's Egyptian
Hall, where he first hears about the Binder, before he
comes face to face with the Bookman in his underground
world. The Bookman sends Orphan on a new quest, to
Caliban's island, on which he is accompanied by Jules
Verne and Captain Dakkar. En route he faces pirates,
meets a spider and loses a thumb. A visit to an
underground village provides some clues to his own

Back in a changed London, he makes an

with Jack the Ripper and Sherlock Holmes, and learns
of Colonel Moran's involvement in his family history.

deaths. 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

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.

and his journey to Transylvania.

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

an avalanche, and Basil faces Ratigan at Bachenreich

Colony.
