This is a novel in which Irene Adler and Sherlock Holmes investigate the disappearance of two men. They are the stepfather and the man Mary Sutherland was engaged to be married to. When the body of the older man, stabbed in the back, is found in Epping Forest, everything points to the young man, who has disappeared. This is, however, not a straightforward tale of murder. Holmes and Adler will need to dig deep in the archives of infamy and educate themselves in practices that are not talked about in polite society: Abuse of children, bit sexual and physical.
