Sherlock Holmes and the Menacing Melbournian

More about the book

Before Reichenbach Falls, Sherlock Holmes had discovered and foiled a plot to embroil Europe in a devastating war. The plot was the creation of Colonel Moran, Moriarty's right-hand man. In broad strokes, the European powers would be pushed into confrontation by false documents fed into each of the embassies. The goal of the plot was to intercept Britain's gold reserves as they were moved offshore for security reasons. Documents were intercepted and plans were laid to catch the plotters in the act. Whitehall, Scotland Yard, police, army and navy units were in readiness, until Holmes and Watson arrive at Mycroft's rooms to discover that the note summoning them was not sent by Mycroft! All too soon, Holmes discovers that the evil has not been stopped but has determined to resurface half a world away from London. Melbourne presents fertile ground for the menace, and it's to Melbourne Holmes and Watson quickly travel.
