London, 1882.
A mysterious cry for help from Belgravia.
An ancient artefact that casts long shadows.
And a detective facing his darkest case yet.

Arthur Kensington, a brilliant Egyptologist, has disappeared without a trace. What Scotland Yard dismisses as the disappearance of an eccentric academic immediately alarms Sherlock Holmes. For Kensington was on the trail of a secret hidden in the famous Rosetta Stone – a secret for which dark forces will stop at nothing.

Forget everything you know about modern crime novels. We're turning back the clock!
