After deciphering the meaning of the phrase "st. s. 138" and decoding a mysterious document, they realize the answer lies to the north in Normandy near the town of ﾉtretat. Together, they follow a long-buried path to an ancient secret, but fresh mysteries and new complications immediately arise.

But other forces are at work, and jealous hands seek to interfere with Holmes's work. He must team up with the notorious gentleman-burglar, Ars鈩e Lupin, if he is to find the treasure and avert an international disaster at sea.
