An attempted murder, a haunted castle, a terrible discovery …
Sherlock Holmes has found himself the target of a deadly vendetta in London, but is distracted when beautiful Scotswoman Isla MacLaren arrives at 221B with a tale of kidnapping, ghosts, and dynamite in her family’s Highland estate. To Watson’s surprise, however, he walks away in favour of a mission for Mycroft in the South of France.
On the Riviera, a horrific revelation draws Holmes and Watson up to the McLaren castle after all, and Holmes discovers that all three cases have blended into a single, deadly conundrum. To solve the mystery, the ultimate rational thinker must confront a ghost from his own past. But Sherlock Holmes does not believe in ghosts … or does he?
‘A rollicking tale worthy of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle himself.’
