Synopsis

After more than eighty years, the British government’s embargo on reporting a particular episode of diplomatic history has been lifted. Set against events in 1940 and 1941, the narrative places Holmes and Watson in blacked-out London before sending them to Berlin on a Foreign Office commission to negotiate a prisoner-of-war exchange with the German high command.

The demanded price for any release is an investigation alongside the Berlin police into a serial killer operating across the city’s railway network. As the mission unfolds, questions arise about what Holmes is truly being told, what his enquiries might uncover, and how wider statecraft could influence the United States’ position in the war. The account ranges across London, Berlin, and Moscow, with the suggestion of Mycroft Holmes and Nicolo Machiavelli’s influence behind the manoeuvring.
