January 1905: Holmes and Watson are summoned by Holmes' brother Mycroft to undertake a clandestine investigation. An agent of the British Secret Service has been found floating in the Thames, carrying a manuscript smuggled into England at the cost of her life. The pages purport to be the minutes of a meeting of a secret group intent on nothing less than taking over the world. Holmes and Watson, in the company of a bewitching woman, travel aboard the Orient Express from Paris into the heart of Tsarist Russia, where they attempt to trace the origins of this shocking document. What they uncover is a conspiracy so vast it challenges Sherlock Holmes as never before.
