There is no more popular hero in the literary and cinematic world than Sherlock Holmes. This name became a sensation in the 1890s thanks to publications in the magazine "Strand", whose circulation immediately increased by a third. By the number of screen versions of the story of the detective from Baker Street got into the Guinness Book of Records. About the number of literary pastiches and nothing to talk about, but the official endorsement of the Conan Doyle Heritage Foundation received only Anthony Horowitz for his novel "House of Silk".
In the career of the great detective there was a case connected with such monstrous and scandalous events that Watson, the invariable narrator of the most fascinating stories about his genius friend, decided not to write about it soon. He carefully packed these notes, sent for storage in a safe place and willed to open the package not earlier than in a hundred years, because the secret hidden in it called "The House of Silk" threatened to undermine all the foundations of society ... Three years after the release of "House of Silk" Anthony Horowitz returned to the world of the great detective. After Professor Moriarty disappeared in the turbulent waters of the Reichenbach Falls, in the criminal world formed a "vacancy". Among the many applicants for this place appears a truly sinister figure. A detective agent from New York and an inspector of Scotland Yard - a devoted fan of Sherlock Holmes - will have to make his way through the darkest corners of England's capital, from the elegant squares of Mayfair to the docks and nooks of London's docks, in pursuit of the one who decisively claims his rights as Moriarty's successor ... The list of Holmes' investigations continues with the story "The Three Monarchs", in which the narration is again conducted on behalf of Dr. Watson. So, the game begins...
