Sherlock Holmes : A Death in Venice and Other Case
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson traverse the British Isles and the Italian peninsula in a rousing series of new adventures. After a thrilling jaunt in the Far East, Holmes and Watson return to England to address an inheritance left by one of Watsons relatives in Cornwall, half of which is entrusted to Sherlock Holmes. Financially secure, the two are now free to spend as much time on Baker Street and the Continent as they please and the duo find themselves as comfortable in Rome on the banks of the Tiber as they do on the Thames. As Holmes rationalizes and ratiocinates his way through adventure after adventure, from The Case of Two Bohemes to A Singular Event in Tranquebar, it is all in a days work, until clues surface that his great nemesis, Professor James Moriarty, might still be alive.
