Doyle finds Lovecraft's apartment ransacked, Detective Mullins believes Lovecraft, now in an asylum, is resposible for the murder and one earlier one. Doyle's visit to Bellevue Asylum to see Lovecraft reminds him of childhood visits to his father. Doyle attempts to enlist former Arcanum member Houdini to assist him.

Story: Working with his new wife, Violet Branscombe, at the Whitechapel People's Dispensary, Mortimer is drawn into the case of Solomons, a Ruthenian social revolutionary accused of the murder of General Ostyankin. Mortimer attends Solomons' trial, where the political implications of the case become clear to him. He notices the presence of a veiled lady among the crowd, and hears a story of false identities and unusual gold sovereigns. He sets out to track down a missing witness, and hears about a burned walking stick. A visit to Solomon in Wormwood Scrubs brings details of the high class of people using the brothel in which the General was murdered, and the goings-on there. Another murder is reported and Mortimer's investigations take him to a nursing home for syphilitics, and to a young girl who may have been taken, blindfolded, to the murder house. He begins to realise that evidence is being covered up at official levels. When the trial ends with a verdict of guilty and a sentence to hang, Mortimer's investigation becomes more urgent, and he begins to have suspicions about a card game that is serving as an alibi. Links to an assassination in Odessa begin to appear, but a trap laid at Nevill's Turkish Baths leads to Mortimer being arrested as a peeping tom and the abduction of his wife, while the public executioner is drawing ever closer to London.

At the village inn, Holmes learns of a furious altercation between the Captain and a friend he had met there. When he and Watson visit the Manor, they are told that the Captain is unusually tired and has retired to his bed, and yet they see the door of his study closing. Holmes summons Lestrade to the scene and they lie in wait outside the house. The solution, Holmes reveals, lies in the Captain's past, and an old smuggling case involving his first officer. Before they can bring the culprit to justice, however, the east wing is set ablaze.

Story: A cache of Watsonian manuscripts are discovered during the renovation of flats in Hastings, or maybe Eastbourne.

Watson waits in Baker Street for Holmes, missing for two days, who has been investigating the Monster of Marylebone, responsible for a string of gruesome murders, the victims all respectable working-men. Lestrade and Billy, leader of the Irregulars, bring news that he has been found, naked, strung up, and terribly injured, alongside a beheaded Irregular. Watson weeps. He and Lestrade continue to work on the murders as Holmes lays in hospital, and Watson decides to put all that has happened onto paper.

The first victim is a tobacconist, strung up and mutialated in his own shop. The second is a gentleman's clothier and chairman of a Bond Street civic society. Holmes is angered when the wife has the murder scene cleaned and tidied before he can view it. Peacham tells Watson that Holmes will; be able to return home soon, and will eventually make a full recovery. Watson weeps. Nurse Masterson is assigned to care for Holmes at Baker Street. Holmes & Watson begin to get a picture of the second victim's character and family, and his dealings with the other merchants on Bond Street, but find themselves being warned off by one of the Bond Street Civic Association's thugs. They discover a connection between the two victims, but not in time to prevent a third and fourth murder.

Feeling awkward over the presence of Masterson at Baker Street, Watson takes a holiday in Cornwall, where he feels he is being followed, and finds himself held at gunpoint on his journey home, with rescue coming from an unexpected source. As Holmes is recovering, Masterson moves out of Baker Street, but Holmes believes her insights into the psychology of the murderer are useful, so she continues to work with him and Watson. Holmes believes that there is more than one murderer, and an arrest is made. But another man is murdered shortly after Holmes interrogates him. Another interview convinces Holmes that he now knows the killer's identity, but Mycroft complicates matters by suggesting a political link to the case. A kidnapping, a house fire, a journey to Ireland and a vengeful father bring the case to its close.
