so it is assumed. The world knows the great detective went over
the falls at Reichenbach with his nemesis Professor Moriarty. But
as Holmes’ body was never retrieved, a number of frauds, fakes and
charlatans have come forward since to lay claim to his identity,
and it falls to Dr. Watson to disprove them. Then a telegram
arrives informing Watson that three men, each claiming to be
Holmes, have been committed to a remote asylum off the coast of
Scotland. Now Watson must discover if one of the mad men is the
real Sherlock Holmes.</p>
