Holmes and Watson have been handed the challenge of solving the London Tarot Killings. It is a shadowy episode equaling any dark conspiracy ever committed in the ancient city. Some fiend is brutally murdering random people in Lower Havering and pinning cards from the Italian deck on their faces.

At the request of the police, Holmes and his faithful chronicler begin an investigation. But unraveling the treacherous scheme of the sinister Tarot Master proves to be no simple task. As the two dauntless men pursue the case, they begin to piece together a vast plot stretching from London's lofty perches of wealth and privilege all the way down to its seedy backstreets and byways. In the course of resolving this intricate mystery, the Great Detective and his devoted assistant will deal with ritual murder and remorse-driven suicide, confront shady characters both clever and dangerous, uncover dark secrets of affluent society, and face at every turn the violent wrath of a ruthless, diabolical genius.

Lestrade panted, getting to his feet as the gang of Cheathams fell back. "e;Right now I can think of worse things than rescue by an amateur detective."e;"e;My dear Lestrade, we're simply ensuring the fight is fair."e; Sherlock Holmes somehow dissuaded the truth of that by the way his lips were coiling up at the edges (without letting go of the pipe in his teeth). Perhaps it was because he was clearly in disguise as a seedy deckhand in Dutchman's sailing clothes. From behind him the little professional could see Dr. Watson, tarred like a sailor and armed with a wicked-looking blackthorn. "e;Well, then!"e; Lestrade crowed with his fist up and parallel to the looming swarm over the tavern. "e;Who is next?"e; "e;Marcia Wilson has discovered Scotland Yard's Tin Dispatch Box."e;David Marcum, Pasticheur, Editor, and Creator of The MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories
