Nach dem Tod von Inspektor Wolfford wird Sherlock Holmes auf einen neuen Fall aufmerksam: Dr. Timothy Thompson, ein alter Freund von Watson, verschwindet während eines humanitären Einsatzes auf der Leprainsel Spinalonga. Holmes, Watson und Alice reisen nach Kreta, wo sie eine isolierte Kolonie voller Krankheit, Angst und Geheimnisse vorfinden. Während Watson sich um die Kranken kümmert, deckt Holmes ein Netz aus Mord, Schmuggel und verborgenen Leidenschaften auf.

Während Holmes den Mord unter den Kranken scheinbar schnell aufklären kann, führt eine Spur aus gestohlenem Phenol, heimlichen Treffen und verborgenen Leidenschaften zu einer weit dunkleren Wahrheit. Als Holmes schließlich das Geheimnis einer Nonne aufdeckt, wird klar: Auf der Insel der Ausgestoßenen sind nicht Krankheit und Tod die größten Feinde – sondern Schuld, Liebe und menschliche Schwäche.

Sherlock Holmes stories are transportive things. They move listeners through the cloistered sitting room at 221-B Baker Street in late 19th Century Victorian London amid the cluttered sideboard, the inviting armchairs, the comforting hearth, the sprawling divan, the formidable bookshelves — all the beloved trappings in the room of the world's greatest detective and his faithful associate. The stories unfold and the listeners can almost sense the physical presence of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, characters whose vitality has defied the diminishments of time.

A widow in Camberwell insists her optician brother was murdered, though the police see nothing to investigate. Five elderly gentlemen arrive at Baker Street together, furious about a card game that took place forty years ago. From a flooded Thames foreshore to the kennels of Highgate, from a cemetery stakeout in the rain to a cuneiform tablet that has waited twenty-five ...

The great city is brought to a standstill by a series of blizzards and Sherlock Holmes is bored to distraction. It would take a miracle to bring a case to the detective’s door. What arrives is not promising: a landlady who complains her artist tenant is behind on rent. Not exactly the miracle for which Holmes was hoping. But, next thing you know, there are several corpses, and Sherlock Holmes and his biographer, John H. Watson, MD, find themselves drawn into one of the most bizarre cases of the great detective’s career.

Dr. Watson is called upon to attend the execution of a man convicted of murder. Eighteen months after the ordeal, the murder victim is found on a London dock, actually murdered.

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson must join forces with Scotland Yard to secretly uncover the deadly scheme that led to a miscarriage of justice, even as they themselves become targets of murder.

The Giant Rat of Sumatra was a story Holmes refused to let be told. Too gruesome … too scandalous … too unfit for school boys to read. But in 1904, the Giant Rat returned to London. Another family is murdered in the same way as the first. A daughter escaped in 1897. A son escaped in 1904. But in 1904, Holmes has retired. He refuses to become involved. He is on his way to his beehives in the South Downs. The horrors of the new case, so very much like the horrors of the first case, may prove irresistible. A headstrong orphaned boy seeks justice for his family. Holmes has to keep the boy ...

The story begins in a melancholic Baker Street, where Holmes is steeped in his drug-induced introspection and Watson is haunted by grief and disturbing dreams. Their quiet existence is disrupted when Mycroft Holmes summons them to the Diogenes Club for a matter of grave importance. There, Holmes and Watson meet with covert operatives investigating the resurfacing of a cult known as the Church of Starry Wisdom, notorious for its worship of a dark, unknowable cosmic entity referred to as the Haunter of the Dark. The cult, thought to have dissolved decades prior, appears to be active again, ...
