It’s the 1890s and a chime from Big Ben rings out over the bustling and crowded streets of Victorian London. The game is afoot! World-famous, brilliant, consulting detective Sherlock Holmes, along with his most faithful boon companion, Doctor Watson, are given a case by Queen Victoria herself to solve a mystery that could affect the very future of the British Empire!
