Thus begins Mycroft Holmes’s valiant, if irregular, attempt to chronicle his doings. Rediscovered in 1976 and now fully translated from an obscure code, Mycroft’s diaries reveal that a brother’s lot is not always a happy one, especially when that brother happens to be London’s only consulting detective. In this humorous look at the world of Sherlock Holmes through Mycroft’s eyes, one question always remains: will Sherlock ever get a proper job?

There is a persistent and incorrect idea, reinforced by countless film misrepresentations, that Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were always staid and dull British chaps of middle years (or older), with Holmes a spry, cranky, and impatient eccentric, and Watson a white-haired and portly Boobus Brittanicus, a la Nigel Bruce. Students of the true and Canonical Sherlock Holmes know this to be a falsehood. When we first meet them on January 1, 1881, Holmes is still 26 years old (although he will turn 27 in just a few days), and Watson, already a wounded war veteran, is only 28.

On the eve of his wedding, Dr. Watson has his own problems, stumbling upon a mystery involving Sherlock Holmes's elder brother Mycroft. As the case turns to tragedy, Holmes and Watson find themselves attempting to unravel a tangled thread of murder, mayhem, and political intrigue that will bring them to the very edge of destruction!

How do you quantify the mental, physical, social, and cognitive health of people and organizations? Heart rate variability or HRV is the answer.
