Synopsis

A quiet morning at Baker Street is interrupted when Inspector Lestrade arrives with news of a body discovered at Tower Bridge, then still under construction. The incident proves to be the first move in a calculated contest, as Holmes is drawn into a dangerous battle of wits with an unknown adversary.

Rather than confronting him directly, the perpetrator sets out to make Holmes suffer by targeting the detective’s small circle of friends and acquaintances. With the pressure mounting, Holmes must work out why he has been singled out and identify the person behind the campaign before he can respond, as the conflict develops into a human chess game with consequences for both sides. Suitable for readers of Sherlock Holmes adventures.
