Sherlock Holmes and the Eminent Explorer - Stills

It was a grim and overcast day in the great nation's capital

An unexpected visit from Holmes could mean only one thing - the game is afoot!

This ^ was an early sketch of 221B's living room from a different angle

By horse and cart we travelled to Kensington, to the home of Sir William Blanchard - a man of the Empire through and through

Though Holmes did not disclose it, I knew that Sir William was not about to greet us at his edifice. Death already hung in the air

Lestrade wasted no time in confirming what we already knew. He urged us upstairs to the scene of Sir William's murder

Truly this was the loss of an excellent Knight. Even in death he radiated nobility. Lestrade surveyed the scene, but it was up to Watson and I to look deeper

The Master of the house was now the late Sir William's butler. He was devastated by the loss, but could offer no explanation

An inspection of the garden revealed fresh footprints and a strange glove left hanging on the rhododendron

Having gleaned all we could from our victim's residence, we agreed that our next stop must be the British Museum

Dr Shah was an expert in archeology, and had curated many of Sir William's treasures from around the world

The Pharmacist at Knightsbridge had a vast knowledge of chemical substances, both the remedial and the deadly

As night fell the city took on a hellish glow and hue. We must solve this appalling crime for Empress and Country!
