Fresh out of Cambridge University, the young Mycroft Holmes is already
making a name for himself in government, working for the Secretary of
State for War. Yet this most British of civil servants has strong ties
to the faraway island of Trinidad, the birthplace of his best friend,
Cyrus Douglas, a man of African descent, and where his fiancée Georgiana
Sutton was raised.
Mycroft's comfortable existence is overturned when Douglas receives
troubling reports from home. There are rumors of mysterious
disappearances, strange footprints in the sand, and spirits enticing
children to their deaths, their bodies found drained of blood. Upon
hearing the news, Georgiana abruptly departs for Trinidad. Near panic,
Mycroft convinces Douglas that they should follow her, drawing the two
men into a web of dark secrets that grows more treacherous with each
step they take...
Written by NBA superstar Kareem Abdul- Jabbar and screenwriter Anna
Waterhouse, Mycroft Holmes reveals the untold story of Sherlock's older
brother. This harrowing adventure changed his life, and set the stage
for the man Mycroft would become: founder of the famous Diogenes Club
and the hidden power behind the British government.
