Summary:

A dynamic adventure where readers can direct Sherlock’s footsteps down a number of different paths. Step into the fog-shrouded streets of Victorian London and become the world’s greatest consulting detective. And remember: when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth …

In this immersive pick-your-own adventure mystery, you step into the shoes of the brilliant, eccentric and relentlessly logical detective Sherlock Holmes. From gaslit alleyways and opium dens to grand townhouses and shadowy railway stations, your case puts your powers of deduction to the test.

Will you follow the clues through the East End, decode a cipher hidden in plain sight or confront a criminal mastermind who knows your methods as well as you do? Each chapter presents crucial choices: trust a nervous witness, or expose their lie? Examine the crime scene again or pursue a suspect before they vanish? Rely on cold logic or risk an unorthodox hunch?

Daniel Smith will show you how the decisions you make will shape the investigation, determining not only who is guilty but whether justice is truly served. Make the wrong call, and the culprit may escape or an innocent life may be ruined. Choose wisely, and you’ll unravel conspiracies worthy of Holmes’ greatest canon cases.
