Story: Frost puts Lestrade on the case of murdered MP Childers. He finds the naked body strung upside down in a secret room walled with mirrors, and learns that the victim was a member of a revived Hell Fire Club. He visits the man's country house to find an encoded diary, at at a Greek Street bordello he is given the name of "Holmes" and the description of a thin man smoking a pipe. A second murder, that of Major Deering, speared with a cavalry lance, occurs in the woods of Deering's country estate. Lestrade is assigned two new assistants, the encyclopaedic Dickens, and Jones, son of Athelney Jones. Investigating Deering's regimental headquarters, Lestrade is attacked by a group of soldiers, a hockey-stick-wielding schoolmistress and shelled on a firing-range, where he meets Kipling, who offers to serve as his driver.

He returns to London to find a telegram from Watson summoning him to the Diogenes Club, where a member has been murdered. There he meets Mycroft and his cousin Aumerle Holmes, and makes a political connection between the three victims. On a return visit to Kipling, Lestrade is told of a murder at Roedean School, the shooter wearing a deerstalker. Assistant Commissioner Frost dies and is replaced by Edward Henry. Lestrade finds himself on leave, while Gregory and Bradstreet take over his case, and he visits Emma and the Bandicoots. He and Harry attend a wine auction, at which the King is present, where there is another murder of an MP. Another one is found dead at his ping-pong table after being visited by a man calling himself Sherrinford Holmes. He visits 221B, where Watson tells him that both he and Mrs Hudson have seen the supposedly dead Sherlock Holmes, and calls on Churchill to find out more about the latest victim. Sensing a possible connection to the suffragette movement, Lestrade finds himself involved with militant feminist Greenbush. Lestrade questions a Fenian, and Bradstreet dies in a bomb attack on the Houses of Parliament. Another MP is killed and Lestrade has Holmes's grave dug up. He takes tea with the Japanese military attaché, and is ticked off at the Foreign Office. He questions William Gillette and auditions for a role in a play about Holmes.

Emma takes Lestrade to Bandicoot Hall, where Harry & Letitia are mourning the loss of their son Rupert, along with Holliday, the provost of Eton, in a boating incident. His identical twin, Ivo, survived. Lestrade nearly drowns, looking for signs of Rupert's demise, and meets Hook, who was also involved in the incident, and who Emma is evidently fond of. Some months later, when he is called to look at an unidentified body washed up on a Kent beach, he discovers that the man was shot, not drowned. He continues his investigations into Rupert's disappearance at the Cavalry Club. Miss Hinchcliffe comes to Lestrade to report her missing brother, Percy, a novelist & cross-channel swimmer, Lestrade realises that his was the body found in Kent. Two days after his death, Lestrade receives a message from the late King Edward VII asking him to 'take care of them'. Another body is found hanging from the bell rope in St. Clement Danes, later identified as Portnoy, also a writer, and a friend of Hinchcliffe. Froest asks Lestrade to look into the disappearance of Cora Crippen, Lestrade puts Dew on the case. Another body, this time a woman, is found in a car at Box Hill. Eliza Barrow moves into Seddon's house. Crippen & Le Neve disappear, and Lestrade & Dew dig up Cora's body in the cellar.

The woman in the car is identified as Marchment. Dew arrests Crippen & Le Neve aboard the SS Montrose. Lestrade learns from her companion, Isadora, that Marchment was a rumoured favourite of Edward VII and a suffragist, and he discovers love letters, signed 'J' at her cottage. The next body is found at the Bioscope cinema, identified as Truscott, yet another writer. Attending the funeral of the Houndsditch bank raid victims, Lestrade makes a connection between the bank gang and his murders. Wensley tells him about the Painter, and suggests the bank raid was a diversion for something else. Emma becomes engaged to Hook. Beron is murdered on Clapham Common, and Lestrade is brought into the case by Wensley. He is interviewing Snagge, the final witness to Rupert's disappearance, when he is summoned to the Sidney Street Siege by Churchill. At Macmillan's publishers, Lestrade learns more about the murdered authors, but when he visits Irons, one of Macmillan's readers, in an opium den, the man is murdered. When he returns to Marchment's cottage he finds Snagge there. On his way to interview W.T. Stead, he is informed of another mutilated body, found on the beach at Bognor, identified as McAbendroth, like the other victims, a member of the Peace Movement.

Dr. Watson is shot from a plane while playing golf with Doyle & Stead. Ward consults Lestrade over the death of Barrow, Seddon's lodger. Lestrade is summoned to the Admiralty, where he learns that Hook is with Naval Intelligence, and they suspect a German agent, probably the Painter, of the murders. Lestrade is photographed in a compromising position with Mata Hari. Bowes shoots Henry; Henry's daughter sees another man with a gun on the other side of the street, aiming at Lestrade. He learns from the King that the message he received from King Edward referred to an assassination attempt, by a German using the same type of gun as that used in the present series of murders. He also discovers that Tsar Nicholas is in England, and realises that an assassination is planned at the Naval Review at Portsmouth, which he must set out to stop.

Story: Holmes reads of the Tabram murder and sets out to investigate. Lestrade inherits the Edmund Gurney case, and Constables Derry & Toms from the late Inspector Morley. He travels to Brighton to learn the facts about Gurney's death at the Royal Albion Hotel and learns that he was a psychic investigator. His investigations take him to Rhadegund Hall School where another murder occurs. Mary Ann Nichols is murdered and Lestrade is called back to London. A clue found at the site of the next murder, Annie Chapman, takes him to the Royal Sussex Regiment barracks. Holmes is on the same track. Abberline arrests Pizer, and Lestrade questions him and finds him innocent.

MP Bradlaugh puts Lestrade back on the Rhadegund Hall case. He arrives at the school in time to find another murder waiting for him. Holmes continues his investigations in a variety of disguises. After the double murder, Warren orders Lestrade off the Ripper case. He returns to Rhadegund Hall and another murder, and is put back on the Ripper case by order of the Queen. A letter is received from the Ripper, analysis of which suggests to Lestrade that there may be a link with the Rhadegund Hall case. At the school the last victim's brother has disappeared, and a fire in the library claims another victim, while another death occurs in the aftermath. Lestrade is shown a book that suggests a thuggee connection to the murders, is attacked in the gym and gains an ally.
Back in London Lestrade follows a number of false leads to some familiar suspects. He is called back to Rhadegund when more murders are committed. Holmes and Watson are taken on as teachers at the school after learning that Montague Druitt had taught there for a term. Guy Fawkes celebrations at the school herald another tragedy.

Lestrade and Holmes head back to London after the murder of Mary Kelly. While on the train Lestrade serves as the model for Watson for Sidney Paget. Lestrade finds himself embroiled in the Duke of Clarence's affairs. Another murder is discovered by Watson, while Holmes is locked up in Bow Street and Lestrade is sent to the psychic, Lees. Lees leads him to Sir William Gull, who dies before Lestrade can properly question him. After a visit to Druitt's surgery, Lestrade begins to see the light in one of his cases, but finds himself abducted, along with Holmes, and brought before one of the highest in the land. Returning to Rhadegund, Lestrade faces a murderer on a train, and learns how all his cases are linked.

Story: Letitia Bandicoot gives birth to twins, while Harry is ordered to stay outside by Nanny Balsam. After a fracas at the Jubilee celebrations, Lestrade is visited by Ames, the Life Guard whose horse he ran into. Ames puts him on the case of the murder of fellow soldier Fellowes, whose body was found in the Thames. He makes a deal with Athelney Jones and views the body, which was found with an Ashanti medal in its mouth and seeds in his pocket. After visiting Kew Gardens, Lestrade takes a break from the case to aid Bandicoot by investigating the death of Tetley, an Egyptologist, at Wookey Hole, found with a scarab in his mouth. Frost assigns Constable Skinner to assist him. A woman is found dead in the grounds of the Crystal Palace, but her husband tells Lestrade that she was visiting the Bandicoots. He goes undercover as an archaeologist at Wookey Hole, and ends up in hospital after a cave-diving incident. The husband of the last victim dies, and Lestrade is suspended by Frost.

After consulting and consorting with Lady Churchill and the Duchess of Marlborough at Blenheim Palace, Lestrade travels to Yorkshire to go undercover as a soldier and investigate the death of Sir William Helerslyke of the Yorkshire Hussars, found with a locket in his teeth. He attends a funeral and defends the accused at a military court hearing, and discovers the poison may have been in a box of chocolates sent by "Coquette". On his return to London, Watson consults him over the death of a member of his cycling club, The Wheel of Fortune. After a bicycle race, he spends the night in the police cells, before being called to another murder in Epping Forest. His investigations lead to him finding himself adrift in a hot air balloon over the South Downs, and in the middle of a gang war on the Ratcliffe Highway. Further investigations take him to the home of the Lyttons, and the Pump Rooms at Cheltenham. Back in London, he is called to a murder at Liberty's, and meets a blackmail victim at the Albert Memorial. A reference to "Perameles" finally leads him to the truth in time to prevent Bandicoot's arrest for the murders.

Story: The repercussions of an article in the Times send three men, all named Sleigh, rushing back to England from locations all over the Empire. After a second body is found on a London Train, Commissioner Frost sends Lestrade to question the husband of the first victim, arrested by Abberline and now in Wormwood Scrubs. The second victim's complex domestic arrangements lead Lestrade to Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. After Lestrade begins directing his attentions towards the railway aspects of the murders, a third victim is found. Following up a lead, Lestrade finds himself playing in a cricket match facing W.G. Grace and Ranjitsinhji. A fourth murder takes him to the library (where he first encounters "Trottie" True who is to join him in the investigation) and the ballet, while another lead seems to point back to the defence of Rorke's Drift. Meanwhile, Goron, head of the Sûreté, arrives in England seeking the Monster of Montparnasse, who has already featured in Lestrade's investigations. Lestrade also learns that one of his suspects has been dead for eleven years, and is swept over a weir with H.G. Wells before auditioning for Hamlet. After another murder, Lestrade discovers that a replacement guard was working on three of the murder nights, but after Frost receives a deputation from the railways, he is suspended from duty and Abberline put in charge of the case. Continuing his investigations privately, he finds himself forced into the boxing ring by the Marquess of Queensberry, and entering London's shady underworld, while a series of men with foreign accents continue to identify successive victims. An old colleague of Lestrade's father claims that the murderer is "Blackfriars Dan", the only man he never caught, recently escaped from the sanatorium his wife had committed him to. But it is only after Trottie disappears that Lestrade comes face to face with the killer on an out of control underground train.

NOTE: Detective Inspector Thicke is here named "Johnnie", the real Thicke, who was involved in the Ripper investigations, was "William".

Story: Tutankhamun is concerned about the advance of Horemheb's armies, worried that the general intends to kill him. His wife is giving him trouble, and having an affair with his adviser, Ay. Ay kills Tutankhamun, who is embalmed by Kat.

Lestrade, now retired is called by Fred Wensley, to look into the murder of Weez, a night watchman at Bart's. The young Simpson tells Lestrade that Weez was killed in the pharmacy next to the poisons cupboard. The pharmacist says that a bottle of potassium cyanide is missing. At Scotland Yard, Wensley tells Lestrade that this is the third similar murder, and that he believes that someone on the force is involved, hence Lestrade's involvement. Emma gets a telegram from Evelyn Herbert. When she & Lestrade arrive at Highclere they meet the Holinsheds who tell them that the telegram was from them, that Evelyn is in Cairo, and explain the strange incidents after the opening of Tutankhamun's tomb, including the death of Evelyn's father, Lord Carnarvon. They ask Lestrade to fly out with them to investigate. Lestrade tells Wensley that he will take three of the suspect policemen, Macclesfield, Fabian & Hambrook, with him.

The first death after Lestrade's arrival is French Archaeologist Alain Le Clerk, apparently of a broken neck after a fall from his horse, after visiting the Tutankhamun dig. Pathologist Sidney Smith, however, tells Lestrade that he was poisoned with henbane. Lestrade & Holinshed travel towards Luxor by camel before being picked up by publicist Hanger, who tells them of the events of the night of Carnarvon's death. Journeying on they arrive at Carter's excavation site. As Lestrade questions his team, new arrivals show up including the American millionaire, String, and Lamartine of the Surêté. Lestrade has Carnarvon's razor checked for poison, and Burton finds traces of henbane. String goes on a shooting spree, firing at Lestrade, then killing himself. Again henbane seems to be the cause. Weigall, the reporter tells Lestrade of a tablet found in the tomb bearing a curse.

Emma & Macclesfield arrive to take the wounded Lestrade, and String's body, back to Cairo on a Nile steamer (apparently the one from Christie's Death On the Nile). When they arrive the city is in turmoil, and they are given an armed guard. Hanger is acting morosely, Lestrade is delirious, both recover after vomiting. At Shepheard's they receive notice that Fabian & Hambrook have been kidnapped by Zagloul, who demands that Lestrade & Carter come to the Mosque El-Muayyad. Carter refuses to go, so Lestrade goes in his place, with Macclesfield pretending to be Lestrade. The men are freed, but Hanger is shot by one of Zagloul's men. Zagloul is wounded and put under house arrest for transportation to England. Lestrade's party, Zagloul & Carter flee an angry mob at the airport and face engine failure over the Nile Delta before making it back to England, where they discover that the engines were sabotaged.

Lestrade decides that the murders are being carried out to prevent Egypt's treasures from being taken out of the country. He believes that Lady Carnarvon & Carter are still at risk, and travels to Wembley with Emma. Lestrade helps quell the crowds in an over-packed stadium, but Emma is stabbed in the back by a foreign woman. There is another death at Bart's, this time Pargetter, the pharmacist, and Lestrade realises that this and the former one are related to the Egypt murders, not the "old fogey" case. Later there is a shooting at the Savoy Hotel, the Holinsheds' friend Prince Fahmy has been killed by his wife. Weigall was with them on the evening of the shooting. Finally after a visit from Marshall Hall, and a visit to Marie Corelli, Lestrade finds that the solution lies right back in Tutankhamun's brief reign.

Story: After the capture of Magdala, British agent Charlie Speedy disappears. Sholto Lestrade is expelled from Mr Poulson's Academy for the Sons of Nearly Respectable Gentlefolk.

Dew is assigned two new constables, Bee and Queux. Lestrade is sent to Devon to investigate the deaths of Captain Orange and his nieces in a carriage accident. Retired journalist, Tenterden, tells him that on the morning of his death, Orange had a visit from the tallest man you've ever seen. He also learns that a broken mirror was found in the Captain's pocket. Dew summons him back to investigate the murder of a nineteen-year-old heiress at King's College in the Strand, also found with a broken mirror. Tenterden suggests that the mirrors are linked to events in Abyssinia. Lestrade is summoned to Downing Street when a Spanish nobleman disappears. A birdwatcher claims he jumped off Beachy Head, and another mirror is found in his discarded uniform. His death leads to a potential royal scandal involving the King's niece, Victoria.

Sir Daniel Whiddon is killed by a therapeutic device. Visiting Whiddon's maiden aunts, Lestrade learns of a Whiddon cousin who was at Magdala, and first hears of Captain Speedy, whom he learns more about from Tenterden. A cross-dressing brewer who could possibly identify the killer is drowned in one of his own vats. After a visit to Harrods, Lestrade has a run-in with a professional murderer. He hears of the theft of four Abyssinian mirrors from the Horniman Museum, and remembers an old song. At Alexandra Palace, the Bandicoots witness a paracuting Gaiety Girl meet a deadly end, and Oliver Lodge and Conan Doyle hold a seance to contact her spirit. One of Lestrade's men is killed after learning about the legend of Prester John from John Buchan.

Story: Walter Dew tells his daughter Ethel about one of his cases with Lestrade.

Constables Bang and Olufsen arrive to take up duties at Scotland Yard. Thomas Daley, supposedly hanged for murder in 1898 turns up alive and well on his family's doorstep. A shabby, lice-infested man is arrested in the Strand and Lestrade and Dew feel the effects of an earthquake. A series of arsenic murders leads Lestrade and Dew from Fleet Street to Penge, and on the trail of some dodgy postcards, from the dens of organised crime to the dining rooms of Clubland and an attempted cross-channel swim.

Matters escalate when Dew is abducted, and the case leads them into the tunnels beneath the city and a society of literary crime solvers. The body of a giant Sumatran rat proves to be the decisive clue to unravelling the mystery.
