RECENTLY DECLASSIFIED DOCOUMENTS. In details never made public until now, the intrepid detective and his faithful colleague are revealed to have played a critical role in maintaining the Royal Navy's supremacy of the seas in World War I. It is June 2014. The winds of war are swirling. But Sherlock Holmes, retired to Sussex Downs, is more interested in the nature of bees.

Though it has been many years since he has spied his old friend's brother, Watson recognizes him instantly. The elder Holmes, long retired from government, has been pressed back in service. Does one ever truly retire from His Majesty's service? Mycroft has summoned his brother and his brother's colleague to recover missing design plans for a revolutionary propulsion system critical to the Royal Navy. They were in the possession of mercurial industrialist Sir Henry MacGuffin. It is a race against time as German spies have learned of the missing plans and are on their way to Scotland to find them for the Kaiser.
