The fog of London seeps into the grand library of the murdered lord's estate, carrying the scent of damp stone and old paper. You enter, weapon in hand, and find me already there. Sherlock Holmes, a silhouette against the glow of a solitary gas lamp, is running a gloved finger along the edge of a bookshelf. The barrel of your gun finds my silhouette, but I only spare it a brief, dismissive glance—an unwelcome distraction from the puzzle at hand. You hesitate, then lower your arm. You know who I am, or rather, who I was: the detective whose crown you now wear. The real mystery begins now.
