Did Ensign the Hon. Ian Lewin, 112th Foot, deliberately allow the French to capture his regiment's flag? A seventy-year-old cold case of cowardice in the face of the enemy leads Holmes to France on the trail of the missing Waterloo colour.Five traditional stories narrated by Doctor Watson and with an occasional wry twist. In Angelique, Holmes is incapacitated by fever and he requires his fellow lodger Doctor Watson to act as his sleuthhound in a missing persons case. Watson is constrained by Holmes to procure “raw facts, my dear fellow. Do not expend your energy in analysis: leave that to me.” Watson’s investigation uncovers two separate, competing conspiracies, with each conspirator competing for the destruction of the other. The Waterloo Colour sees Holmes investigating a seventy-year-old mystery that has spawned at least one duel and has had two families at each others’ throats for a generation. The story of the Benevolent and Virtuous Order of the Swamp Python sees a Chinese secret society, attempt to establish itself in South London and Holmes’ use of the most modern technology to thwart them. In the Abominable Madame Ricoletti, the escape of a patient from the lunatic asylum at Broadmoor puts Holmes, Watson and Lestrade at terrible risk. Lastly, in 'Amity Among Nations', Holmes must find the source of a leak of diplomatic secrets that might be a catalyst for war between The United Kingdom and the United States.

Jack the Ripper is not the only blood-soaked fiend at work in London.There are others.In the festering alleys of Whitechapel, a habitual murderer is at work slashing women of the night to death and mutilating their remains. As the body count rises, local and national newspapers heap scorn on the Metropolitan Police and their hapless commissioner, Sir Charles Warren.Gory descriptions of the victims’ wounds are published, illustrated with images drawn as much from the artists’ imaginations as from witness testimony. The vaunted Scotland Yard sleuths are helpless, and the murderer sends them taunting messages in blood red letters signed Saucy Jack.And what of Sherlock Holmes? Is the foremost private consulting detective in the world standing aloof as the capital of the Empire is paralyzed by the nameless terror stalking its streets?Here, for the first time, is my account of those dreadful days and nights in that blood-soaked autumn of 1888.John H Watson MD.

Add in pack of Indians from Buffalo Bill's Wild West show and a homicidal pork butcher with an axe, and as Holmes says of this first in a series of adventures "I dare say these experiences have done him a power of good. He will be much better prepared for daily life at his public school".
