"Somewhere in the vaults of the bank of Cox and Co., at Charing Cross, there is a travel-worn and battered tin dispatch-box with my name, John H. Watson, M.D., painted upon the lid. It is crammed with papers, nearly all of which are records of cases to illustrate the curious problems which Mr. Sherlock Holmes has at various times to examine."

Headed by the by the most infamous and ruthless masterminds of the 19th century, the Hephaestus Ring weaves a web of international greed that will change history and command the future.
