The world of Sherlock Holmes has changed.
Everywhere he looks, he sees mindless violence, ignorance, and mob rule. It tires him in ways that the machinations of Moriarty never did. He has not taken a real case in years and has no intention to start again, until his latest client gives him an audio recording. From that moment, Holmes and Watson are set on a course that will make them doubt not only their courage, but also their sanity.
This is a story of what happens when Sir Arthur Conan DoyleÕs man of perfect logic is pitted against the ultimate madness of H.P. LovecraftÕs nightmarish Cthulhu mythos.
