A Congression of Pallbearers

London, October--1894
A pair of cryptic messages lead Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to a destroyed photographer's studio and into an assassination attempt. Their only clue to unravel the mystery is a damaged photograph plate bearing a post-mortem portrait of a dead shipping magnate and his grieving widow. With no time to lose, the game is again afoot--with death and destruction threatening to explode from the looming shadows of a war to end all wars.

Plunging into a boiling cauldron of international intrigue, Holmes and Watson, joined again by the redoubtable Eby Stokes, are in for the fight of their lives--a fight where brains must match brawn to turn a deadly tide...
