A wave of rabies cases terrorises the people of London. Doctor Watson's diagnosis of a young girl is questioned, and he and Holmes are caught in a web of deceit, superstition and murder. A flamboyantly dressed man is stabbed to death in a church courtyard. A robbery gone wrong, as the police say, or is there a more sinister motive to his death? Banker Mr Merriweather engages Holmes to determine the owner of a wallet containing seven fake half sovereigns. Is his wife a kleptomaniac, or is a dark conspiracy at work? A prominent Biblical scholar and archaeologist is found dead in his hotel room. What is the secret of the red bones? Stories set in Victorian England and narrated by Doctor Watson in the traditional style.
