A young woman is on the run, wanted for murder. The dead man’s ties to a shadowy criminal underworld have brought the case to the attention of Sherlock and Watson, who are pursuing a mastermind known only as The Professor. Sherlock has been asked by the government to find and destroy The Professor’s web of corruption. However, their path to shedding light on the seedier parts of society has put them on a collision course with the pillars of power in the British Empire…and Sherlock’s own brother.
