Storia
È una notte strana quella in cui il dottor Watson riceve inaspettatamente la visita di Sherlock Holmes. L'investigatore più celebre di tutti i tempi, quella notte è molto diverso dal solito. È spaventato, malandato, ferito. Sta fuggendo dal suo più acerrimo nemico, il diabolico Professor Moriarty. È il criminale più spietato, un autentico genio del male, un avversario insidioso dalle alleanze potenti.
