Description
xEmbark upon eight quests for buried treasure with Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John H. Watson!
THE LOST LEGION. Holmes is still a university student without a definitive plan in life when he falls ill. He is sent to Derbyshire to recuperate, where he stumbles across a seemingly-abandoned mine of the incredibly rare mineral known as 'Blue John.' But strange rumors abound of terrors in the night, and when a man goes missing, Holmes brings it upon himself to investigate the mysteries of the mine. Will he unearth an outlandish secret stretching back over millennia?
THE ADVENTURE OF THE DOUBLE-EDGED HOARD. Holmes is summoned to Cambridge by Inspector Lestrade to assist with the murder of an eminent professor who had recently acquired a Viking treasure hoard. Before Holmes can arrive, the murderer strikes again. Holmes must race against time to prevent an ancient curse from claiming more victims.
THE ADVENTURE OF THE DAWN DISCOVERY. A grieving widower hires Holmes to discover the reason for his wife's demise. This commission takes Holmes and Watson to the remote reaches of Scotland, where a tiny island hides a decades-old secret. Only someone as astute as Sherlock Holmes could hope to unravel the singular adventures of the Grice Patersons in the island of Uffa.
THE ADVENTURE OF THE PIRATE'S CODE. A young lad has gone missing in Bristol and his tavern-keeper father calls upon Holmes to find him. Accompanied by Watson, Holmes discovers that the boy was following a strangely coded message found in the possessions of the recently deceased Captain George North. All evidence suggests that the captain might have preserved a clue to one of the greatest pirate treasures of all time. Can Holmes decipher the riddle and follow the signs to their perilous end, before time runs out for young Jim Eggleson?
THE ADVENTURE OF THE QUEEN'S PENDANT. A client calls upon Baker Street bearing a mysterious warning letter, claiming that his museum is at threat of being robbed. The following day, calamity befalls the museum... its prized possession, a pendant belonging to an ancient Mesopotamian queen, has been damaged during the night. Watson at his side, Holmes lays a trap to catch the thief, only to have his net capture the most unlikely suspect. Despite Holmes' protestations to the contrary, will true love win out in the end?
THE HARROWING INTERMISSION. The entire world mourns that Holmes has perished in the Reichenbach Falls. But none grieve as deeply as Dr. Watson. To assuage his sorrow, Watson begins to write a series of letters to his deceased friend, in which he tells of the current news of London. Two individuals, both with an old connection to India, have been foully murdered. Watson begins to suspect that the Thuggee are taking their revenge for a theft of jewels sacred to Kali. Can Watson employ Holmes' methods to solve this problem which came before the public?
THE ADVENTURE OF THE SUNKEN INDIAMAN. Holmes was always averse to leaving London for any significant length of time. But when a client reports an unusual robbery of his London home, Holmes discovers a century-old connection to the disappearance of one of India's greatest treasures. Can he solve an ancient cipher and locate the Peacock Throne before the thief?
THE ADVENTURE OF THE SILENT DRUM. Holmes is called to the coast of Devon to solve a mystery of legendary proportions. For the drum belonging to Sir Francis Drake has gone missing from Buckland Abbey, and with it, the mystical protection it affords the nation of England. Holmes is skeptical of the drum's powers, but he and Watson are initially baffled at how it could have vanished from a locked room in the midst of a festive gala. While Holmes unconcernedly bowls upon the lawn, will the culprits go unpunished?
Fully annotated, these tales contain a cornucopia of scholarly insights which compare these newly unearthed cases by Dr. John H. Watson to the classic adventures from the Canon of Sherlock Holmes.
