Synopsis

Set in 1896, Mrs. Hudson and her colleagues travel to Athens for the first Olympiad in more than 2,000 years, where Holmes is due to compete in the foils as part of Great Britain’s Olympic team. Behind the public spectacle, the trio undertake undercover work on behalf of Queen and country, tasked with securing a letter sent to Queen Victoria from her daughter, the Dowager Empress of Germany.

On arrival, they are confronted with a double killing at the British Ambassador’s residence, a missing courier, and the disappearance of both the letter and the Ambassador. With Inspector Lestrade already in Athens investigating fake antiquities sold to the Ambassador’s wife, the ten days of the Olympiad become a tight deadline to recover the letter, identify the murderer, and uncover the scheme—while Holmes pursues an Olympic medal.
