Synopsis

Set on New Year’s Day 1891, the story opens with Sherlock Holmes summoning Wiggins to Baker Street and declaring that he must die at dawn. Wiggins sets out to protect two truths from Holmes, while a series of letters left by Irene Adler begins to expose a hidden family history.

As the threat of the King of Bohemia closes in, Holmes and Wiggins embark on the Great Hiatus, moving from London to Reichenbach Falls, New York City and a farm in Canada. Along the way, familiar figures including Mycroft, Moriarty, Dr John H. Watson and the Baker Street Irregulars appear, as Wiggins discovers that little is as it seems.
