Synopsis

The story is presented as newly discovered diaries from a young Arthur Conan Doyle, recounting adventures involving Doyle, Sherlock Holmes and the Edinburgh surgeon Joseph Bell in Russia in 1881. Holmes is described as a former medical student who has become a skilled anatomist, diagnostician and surgeon, and the diaries suggest he worked undercover for Her Majesty’s Secret Service before becoming a private detective.

As Bell travels to St Petersburg to lecture on antiseptic surgery, the diary records a series of murders solved through small observations, alongside political threats including plots to assassinate Tsar Alexander III. It also follows Doyle’s entanglement with radical students and other dangerous encounters, with appearances by figures such as Dostoyevsky and Rasputin. Suitable for readers who enjoy Sherlock Holmes-inspired historical adventures.
