When a wealthy builder is found murdered in his home, all signs point to the young lawyer he named as his sole heir just hours before. Scotland Yard is certain they’ve got their man. To Holmes, however, the case is suspiciously perfect. Every clue seems carefully placed, every detail meticulously planned. But in constructing the perfect frame job, the master criminal behind it all made one fatal mistake—underestimating Sherlock Holmes.
