"Have you ever seen a ghost, Mr. Holmes?" asks Victoria Temple, and
Sherlock Holmes, at the height of his powers in 1898, must face a new
challenge. Miss Temple has been found guilty - but also insane - at
her trial for murdering a child under her care. She is locked away in
the Broadmoor lunatic asylum, and worse still, she believes fully in
her own guilt. But were the hauntings at the Elizabethan manor house
of Bly a vision of the walking dead, perhaps, rather than delusions
of her tormented mind? Or could it be that a criminal conspiracy is
to blame for the psychic phenomena, as well as a second murder
cunningly concealed in the past? In the company of Dr. Watson,
the indefatiguable Holmes will track down the perpetrators through
the occult underworld of Victorian London. Next, on the eve of World
War I, Holmes is confronted with fraud and forgery at the Royal Naval
Academy in "The Case of a Boy's Honor", while back in London, behind
the scenes of the Herculaneum Theatre in the Strand, "The Case of
the Matinee Idol" embroils Holmes and Watson directly in an apparent
on-stage murder. How did poison get into two Shakespearean goblets
when only the victim, now dead, had access to them and the most
likely suspect was a mile away with an unthinkable alibi.
