Synopsis

Set in 1906, rumours circulate of a lethal conspiracy forming in Peking, drawing Holmes into an investigation far from the streets and moors more commonly associated with his cases. His brief is to establish whether the threat is real and, if it is, to prevent it from unfolding.

Uncertainty surrounds the intended target: the young, progressive Ch'ing Emperor or his formidable aunt, Empress Dowager Cixi, with the murder of either risking civil war. With China’s future and Britain’s imperial interests in the Orient potentially in the balance, Holmes and Watson pursue their mission beyond Edwardian England and into the unfamiliar world of the Forbidden City.
