Synopsis

On the morning of the vernal equinox in 1899, Sherlock Holmes is summoned from his bed by Inspector Lestrade and taken to Stonehenge, where a young woman has been murdered. At the scene, Holmes finds a druidic symbol painted in blood, a message written in an unfamiliar language, and a ritualistic arrangement of yew branches around the body.

With little to work from, he begins to gather information on ancient druids and Celtic mythology, gradually assembling a group of specialists to help him interpret what he has found. A Sherlock Holmes adventure for readers drawn to classic detective fiction with a darker, myth-inflected edge.
