Synopsis

In the summer of 1895, a lost play by William Shakespeare is discovered, only for the three-hundred-year-old quarto to be stolen during authentication in Oxford. Holmes and Dr Watson follow a trail that ranges from the Epsom Derby and Epping Forest to the city of Florence, as the search draws them into increasingly unusual circumstances.

Other cases arrive at 221B Baker Street during the same eventful year, from strychnine poisonings to the schemes of an injured army captain and a dancing bear suspected of murder in the East End. With stilt-walking chases, a swimming race across the River Thames and an explosion at the former site of Shakespeare’s Globe, the investigation builds towards Holmes’ most dangerous adventure yet. Suitable for readers of Sherlock Holmes pastiche and historical mystery.
