In 1893, Sherlock Holmes and Henry James come to America together
to investigate the suicide of Clover Adams, wife of the esteemed historian
Henry Adams - a member of the family that has given the United States
two Presidents. Quickly, the investigators deduce that there's more to
Clover's death than meets the eye - with issues of national importance at stake.

Holmes is currently on his Great Hiatus - his three-year absence
after Reichenbach Falls during which time the people of London
believe him to be deceased.

The disturbed Holmes has faked his own death and now,
as he meets James, is questioning what is real and what is not.

Holmes' theories shake James to the core.

And what was Holmes' role in Moriarty's rise?

Conspiracy, action and mystery meet in this superb literary hall of mirrors from the author of Drood
