1878

Sherlock Holmes and his good friend Mr Stamford are close to completing their education at London's St Bartholomew's Medical College, and Holmes is keen to begin a serious career as a detective.

So when a solicitor contacts him about a new case, he quickly accepts.

Mr Ineson is concerned for his client, the widow Mrs Beauregard, who is considering investing most of her considerable assets in a new company called Baumann Motors Ltd.

In an age of industry, machines are rapidly transforming the Victorian world, and fortunes can be made - or lost - by speculating on the latest enterprise.

The Baumann motor promises to change the world of transport, make manufactured goods cheaper and allow trains to run without the need for coal.

But it has not been tested, and Ineson is worried that Mrs Beauregard has fallen for the charm of its inventor.

Holmes and Stamford attend a demonstration under the pretence of being interested in investing to try and discover if the motor is as miraculous as it sounds. But soon they are involved in an even deadlier mystery...

With Holmes' reputation as a highly intelligent and intuitive detective at stake, can he discover the truth about the highly secretive company? Or will this case prove too challenging for even the most astute of men?
