Beyond the Baker Street Lodgings, the world continues in humdrum routine, day after day, barely aware of the foul crimes, the corruption and the inexplicable all around them. Sherlock Holmes observes everything, directing his formidable abilities only to crimes outside the common. Unconventional sins, bizarre truths hidden in the world, they call to the great detective. A siren song drawing him irresistibly to adventure. Armed only with a stalwart friend and his own logic, the great detective confronts the horrors of the Victorian world and beyond. Monsters of the shadow realms, murderers in darkened allies, Sherlock Holmes doggedly pursues the unforgivable wherever the evidence leads. Through the sordid streets of London, across nightmares of magic and superstition, beyond the limits of scientific knowledge, there is no place the detective will not pursue the wicked, all the time knowing: When you eliminate the impossible, the truth, no matter how improbable, remains.
