After the harrowing experience of losing his mother while solving a
brutal murder in London's East End, young Sherlock Holmes commits
himself to fighting crime ... and is soon involved in another case.
While visiting his father at the magnificent Crystal Palace, Sherlock
stops to watch a remarkable and dangerous trapeze performance high
above, framed by the stunning glass ceiling of the legendary building.
Suddenly, the troupe's star is dropping, screaming and flailing, toward
the floor. He lands with a sickening thud just a few feet away, and
rolls up almost onto the boy's boots. Unconscious and bleeding
profusely, his body is grotesquely twisted. In the mayhem that follows,
Sherlock notices something that no one else sees -- something is amiss
with the trapeze bar! He knows that foul play is afoot. What he doesn't
know is that his discovery will put him on a frightening, twisted trail
that leads to an entire gang of notorious criminals. Wrapped in the
fascinating world of Victorian entertainment, its dangerous
performances, and London's dark underworld, Death in the Air raises
The Boy Sherlock Holmes to a whole new level.

First Case.
