Sherlock Holmes: The Mysterious Girl

A young woman's dead body on Sherlock Holmes's doorstep. In her pocket, a silk handkerchief embroidered with the symbol of the British royal family. A coincidence? Or a message that was meant to remain forever hidden? Scotland Yard, led by Inspector Lestrade, is certain—she's a prostitute, and the case needs to be swept under the carpet as quickly as possible. But Holmes senses that there is much more to this brutal murder. Together with his faithful Dr Watson, he embarks on an investigation that takes them from the darkest corners of London to the heavily guarded gates of aristocratic residences.

With every uncovered clue, a web of cynical lies, blackmail and betrayal unravels before them, reaching into the highest circles of British society. Someone will do anything to keep the terrible secret buried. And they will not hesitate to eliminate anyone who gets close to the truth. This time, however, Holmes is not just up against a cold-blooded killer. The honour of the Crown itself is at stake—and perhaps his own life. Time is running out. The killer is always one step ahead. Can Sherlock Holmes, with his brilliant deduction, uncover the truth before a mysterious hand takes another life?
