Alive and well despite the widely published
accounts of her death, diva Irene Adler and her dashing
husband Godfrey Norton are taking coffee with their friend
Nell Huxleigh in a Parisian sidewalk café when a stranger
dressed in Oriental garb falls at their feet. It is not
Irene’s beauty that has felled him, but a dose of poison—
and even more surprisingly, the friends learn as he
recovers that he is an Englishman! The mysterious young
man informs them that he is seeking a Dr. Watson who
tended his wounds at the disastrous battle of Maiwand, a
man whose life he says is now in mortal danger.
The hunt is on and their search will lead them to a
command performance for the Empress of all the Russias and
to Sarah Bernhardt, into a channel steamer and at last to
the doorstep of 221 Baker Street, where they will discover
deadly secrets both past and present.
