A legendary broadsword recovered. A six-million-pound lie. And a mastermind who understands the architecture of deception.
When Inspector Lestrade arrives at 221B Baker Street with a photograph of King Arthur's mythical blade, Excalibur, the Scotland Yard man believes he is celebrating history reborn. But where Lestrade sees an ancient relic bound for the Palace, Sherlock Holmes sees something far more sinister: modern casting seams, paste jewels, carbon-arc photography, and a fraud built with terrifying precision.
What begins as a curious case of antiquities forgery quickly plunges Holmes and Dr. John H. Watson into the dark, compartmentalized workshops of Victorian London. Across Southwark and Whitechapel, isolated artisans are unwittingly crafting pieces of a massive financial swindle-orchestrated by Arthur Hawthorne, a brilliant philanthropist with a chillingly calculated alter ego.
Faced with an intellectual equal whose criminal mind operates with a darker geometry, Holmes must trace a trail of compromised bank ledgers, hidden workshop orders, and subtle physical clues before an empire of deceit is cemented into truth.
Why readers of traditional historical mysteries will love this story:
- Authentic Doyle Tone: Written in the faithful, classical voice of Dr. Watson, capturing the true spirit of 1890s Baker Street.
- A Worthy Adversary: A cerebral battle of wits against a formidable villain in the tradition of Moriarty.
- Cerebral Whodunit: Rich in historical detail, art forgery lore, Victorian atmosphere, and classic deduction.
If you enjoy traditional British detective fiction, Arthur Conan Doyle pastiches, and Victorian crime mysteries, step back into 1895 and experience a new Sherlock Holmes adventure!
