Sherlock Holmes is called to the London Zoo to investigate the treacherous murder of an unusual victim. While Scotland Yard ascribes little significance to the case, Holmes believes he has uncovered a politically motivated assassination.

A Sherlock Holmes mystery by Arthur Conan Doyle, brought to life in this dramatic narration by Old Good Readz. When a young woman seeks Holmes’ help after her sister’s mysterious death, the legendary detective and his loyal companion, Dr. Watson, embark on one of their most chilling investigations.

Wir schreiben das Jahr 1897. Dr. Watson liest mit Begeisterung den gerade erschienenen Roman Dracula von Bram Stoker. Als wenig später in London eine blutleere Leiche gefunden wird, glaubt Watson an Vampire. Und dann begegnet ihm im Londoner Nebel ein Werwolf. Gemeinsam mit Sherlock Holmes, dem messerscharf deduzierenden Meisterdetektiv aus der Baker Street, begibt sich Watson auf eine phantastische Irrfahrt.

Der Fall ist klar. Zumindest für Scotland Yard. Der junge McCarthy hat seinen Vater ermordet. Und doch ... Sherlock Holmes sieht das anders. Und er setzt alles daran, den jungen Mann vor dem Henker zu retten. Doch die Zeit läuft gegen ihn ...

In der britischen Militärbasis Aldershot geschieht ein Mord: Colonel Barclay liegt erschlagen auf dem Boden des heimischen Salons, neben ihm seine ohnmächtige Ehefrau. Alle Beweise scheinen darauf hinzudeuten, dass Mrs. Barclay die Mörderin ist. Natürlich ist die Militärpolizei keineswegs erfreut, als Sherlock Holmes sich in die Untersuchung einmischt, um herauszufinden, was wirklich geschehen ist.
