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.

Sherlock Holmes und sein ärgster Widersacher sind tot. Gemeinsam stürzten sie die Reichenbachfälle in der Schweiz hinunter. Das ist zumindest die offizielle Version. In Wahrheit sind die beiden Kontrahenten lebendiger als je zuvor - begierig darauf, die Klingen zum finalen Duell zu kreuzen. Als Mrs. Mary Watson entführt wird, gibt sich der Meisterdetektiv zu erkennen und nimmt gemeinsam mit seinem alten Weggefährten Dr. John Hamish Watson die Spur Moriartys auf. Sie führt tief in die Vergangenheit und fördert so manches Geheimnis hervor.

Der Meisterdetektiv Sherlock Holmes und Dr. Watson erforschen ein geheimnisvolles Kornfeld und stoßen dabei auf die Spur einer gigantischen Verschwörung. Jack the Ripper, die Freimaurer, die Bundeslade des Alten Testaments, die Schriftstellerin Virginia Woolf und natürlich Professor Moriarty mischen in dem turbulenten Geschehen mit, an dessen Ende das größte Geheimnis Englands gelüftet wird.
