Sherlock Holmes: The Atlantic Cipher

For Dr. Watson, it was meant to be a restful transatlantic voyage. For Sherlock Holmes, it is a hunting ground.

When the solicitor carrying the secrets to Watson's surprise inheritance is found dead in a locked stateroom, the ship’s doctor rules it a tragic accident. But Holmes, seeing the subtle signs of a perfect crime, knows the truth: a murderer is hiding among the first-class passengers.

With the man’s vital papers stolen, Holmes is left with a single, cryptic clue—a puzzle known only as the Atlantic Cipher. Now, on a grand ocean liner isolated by the vast sea, Holmes is in a silent battle of wits against a brilliant and ruthless killer. He must solve the cipher and unmask the culprit before they reach the shores of the New World, or the truth will be buried forever.
