"I know every move of your game... It has been a duel between you and
me, Mr Holmes... If you are clever enough to bring destruction upon me,
rest assured that I shall do as much to you."
With Sherlock Holmes's reputation as the scourge of the criminal

Watson are led across Europe in a deadly pursuit of their devilish
quarry, until the final showdown in Switzerland, at the precipitous
Reichenbach Falls...
