Sherlock’s house arrest is interrupted by the untimely death of a servant’s son in sunny Ramsgate.
After being sentenced to house arrest for the death of ‘Napoleon of blackmail’ Charles Augustus Magnussen, an antsy Sherlock enlists the help of his coroner-buddy Molly to create a wax replica of himself to fool his landlady and escape on a case. His irresistible client? Colonel Ben Hayter, an old friend of John Watson’s, whose stunning Ramsgate mansion was vandalized – but all that the perpetrator took was a ball of yarn. The night after the odd robbery, his neighbor was murdered. It’s up to forensic dreamteam Sherlock and Watson to track the trail and catch the culprit.
