1893. Henry James, a classic of American literature, is experiencing an acute creative crisis. He arrives in Paris and on a freezing March night tries to drown himself in the Seine, but is rescued by an eccentric stranger who calls himself Sherlock Holmes. He takes James on a journey across America to unravel the mysterious suicide of James' longtime acquaintance, one of the founders of the aristocratic Five Hearts Club. The story will include knife fights and international terrorism, secret signs and unexpected insights, Beecher Stowe and Professor Moriarty, as well as Kipling, Roosevelt, Poirot, Mark Twain and many others - a host of fictional characters and real-life celebrities.
But one of the main mysteries - who is he really, Holmes, the figure with a thousand faces, the man, who, according to his own assurance, does not exist?
All right, gentlemen, let's hit the road.
Game on.
