A fog has descended upon London, both literally and figuratively, as Sherlock Holmes cannot find a single criminal case to excite his interest. An unexpected telegram from his brother Mycroft shakes Sherlock out of his boredom, however, as it promises to be a case that will finally challenge his intellect. It's serious enough that Mycroft upsets his routine and comes to Baker Street himself, along with Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard. A young man named Arthur Cadogan West has been murdered on the Underground, and he was carrying top-secret government documents that are now missing. Sherlock Holmes is the only one who can solve the case, so he and Watson prepare to set off on a new investigation. As they do, let their story help you prepare to set off into your own night of deep and restorative slumber.
