Holmes and Watson travel to Paris to investigate the assassination of the French president.

But as they draw closer to the inner circles of the faction, Holmes and Watson suddenly find themselves in mortal danger and forced to work for the enemy. They must use all their wit and deduction to escape the chains of the anarchists and bring them to justice.
