Sherlock Holmes: The Unsolved Cases (Sherlock Holmes: Journeys Beyond the Fog)

Some cases are cold. These are frozen in time. The world believes Sherlock Holmes has solved his last mystery. But in the quiet basement of Scotland Yard, a dusty filing cabinet holds the secrets of the unsolved, the forgotten, and the dead who were denied justice. It is called the Ashcroft Drawer, and it is about to be reopened. Lured from retirement, a more reflective, world-weary Holmes and a steadfast Dr. Watson return to 221B Baker Street for a new, extraordinary undertaking: to close the cases that have haunted the Yard for a generation. From the tragic tale of a murdered flower girl dismissed by the police, to the magnificent absurdity of thousands of stolen poppies, to the grim secret of a lawyer shot in a sealed room, each case pulls the duo deeper into a world of long-buried secrets. But the most challenging puzzle of all is the one Holmes has avoided for twenty-four years. A case that represents his first, and greatest, failure. To solve it, he must confront not only a killer, but also the arrogant young man he once was.
