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 its authentication in Oxford. Holmes is drawn into an investigation that ranges from a college break-in to a trail leading through the Epsom Derby, Epping Forest and on to Florence.

Other cases arrive at 221B Baker Street during the same eventful year, from an injured army captain’s schemes to strychnine poisonings and a dancing bear suspected of murder in the East End. As stilt-walking chases, a swimming race across the River Thames and an explosion at the former site of Shakespeare’s Globe raise the stakes, questions gather around the woman haunting Dr Watson and the mysterious Society of Lucius. Suitable for readers who enjoy Sherlock Holmes adventures.
