Synopsis

A quiet morning at Baker Street is disrupted when Inspector Lestrade brings news of a body discovered at Tower Bridge, then still under construction. The case quickly becomes the first move in a calculated contest, as an unknown adversary sets out to make Holmes suffer.

Rather than confronting him directly, the attacker turns to those within Holmes’s small circle of friends and acquaintances, forcing him to work without the advantage of a clear opponent. With motives obscured and identities hidden, Holmes must determine why he has been chosen before he can strike back, as the conflict develops into a tense, human chess match where every decision carries consequences for both sides. Suitable for readers who enjoy Sherlock Holmes adventures.
