It is the autumn of 1880, and Dr. John Watson has just returned from Afghanistan. Badly injured and desperate to forget a nightmarish expedition that left him doubting his sanity, Watson is close to destitution when he meets the extraordinary Sherlock Holmes, who is investigating a series of deaths in the Shadwell district of London. Several bodies have been found, the victims appearing to have starved to death over the course of several weeks, and yet they were reported alive and well mere days before.

It’s 1929 and an aging Dr. John Watson, conscious of his imminent demise, finally sits down to write a fresh chronicle disclosing the true events behind his published accounts of Sherlock Holmes’s exploits. In these pages, Sherlock Holmes and his stalwart companion encounter reanimated corpses in Highgate Cemetery; a very different, though ever elusive, Irene Adler; tales of madness and murder in the frozen wastes of the north; grotesque organic machines; and much more.

It is the spring of 1895, and more than a decade of combating eldritch entities has cost Dr. John Watson his beloved wife Mary, and has nearly broken the health of Sherlock Holmes. Yet the companions do not hesitate when they are called to the infamous Bedlam lunatic asylum, where they find an inmate speaking in R’lyehian, the language of the Old Ones. Moreover, the man is horribly scarred and has no memory of who he is. The detectives discover that he was once a scientist, a student of Miskatonic University, and one of two survivors of a doomed voyage down the Miskatonic River.

Kurz vor Weihnachten erhalten Sherlock Holmes und sein treuer Atlatus Dr. John H. Watson Besuch von Hilten Headley-Thurgood, einem Geschäftsmann aus Birmingham. Dieser weiß geradezu Unglaubliches zu berichten. Als er von einer kurzen Geschäftsreise zurückkehrte, fand er seine Frau völlig verändert vor. Sie wirkt zerstreut, findet Dinge im Haushalt nicht mehr, redet ihn mit einem falschen Vornamen an und verhält sich auch sonst äußerst merkwürdig. Auch scheint sie sich in der Zeit seiner Abwesenheit eine Verletzung zugezogen zu haben, denn sie hält sich fortwährend den linken Arm.
