Set in London during World War II, a thrilling murder mystery where
the world's greatest detective must uncover the truth behind a seemingly
impossible series of high-profile assassinations.
London, 1943.
Across the city, prominent figures in science and the military are
bursting into flame and being incinerated. Convinced that the Germans
have deployed a new terror weapon, a desperate government turns to the
one man who can track down the source of this dreadful menace--Sherlock
Holmes.
The quest for a solution drives Holmes into an uneasy alliance with the
country's most brilliant scientific genius, Professor James Moriarty.
Only Sherlock Holmes knows the truth that behind his façade of
respectability, Moriarty is the mastermind behind a vast criminal
empire.
As they together pursue the trail of incendiary murders, Holmes is quite
sure that Moriarty is playing a double-game--and that there lies ahead a
duel to the death from which they will not both survive.
