Story: After returning home from

crown, 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.

On their way back home, to the Ragged

Peachy Carnehan see Sherlock Holmes collecting
Toby from Mr Sherman. Holmes later appears at the

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

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".

Mycroft, who tells him of Sherlock's death and the
reason why he and Dr W., consort with

advice from Q (Quasimodo) in the catacombs, where
they also do battle with Rochefort, and find Viktor
(Frankenstein) in his ruined laboratory. They emerge

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?
