Renowned "consulting detective" Sherlock Holmes has a reputation for solving the most complex mysteries. With the aid of his trusted ally Dr.John Watson, Holmes is unequaled in his pursuit of criminals, relying on his singular powers of observation, his remarkable deductive skills -- and the blunt force of his fists. After a string of brutal, ritualistic murders, Holmes and Watson arrive just in time to save the latest victim and uncover the killer, the unrepentant Lord Blackwood. Before his hanging, Blackwood warns Holmes that death has no power over him, and when Blackwood's apparent resurrection and latest deadly plot panic London and confound Scotland Yard, Holmes and Watson plunge into a world of the dark arts and startling new technologies, where logic is sometimes the best crime-fighting weapon ... but where a good right hook will often do the job.
