Klappentext

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. If this becomes known, the public's faith in the police, the justice system, and the government itself could be in peril. 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. As they are led through a series of seemingly unrelated events and murders, they must discover the minds behind this complex plot and somehow bring them to justice. Can Holmes and Watson, along with Inspector Gregson, unravel the clues as they are discovered? Will they survive long enough to close the case? Join Holmes and Watson as they follow a confounded trail that leads to the door of desperate men hiding in plain sight.
