There are no signs of a struggle, poison, weapons, or break-in. Everything seems impossible to explain, until Holmes, called in out of pure curiosity, realizes that the greatest anomaly is not in the death, but in the questions that no one has bothered to ask." # THE LAST ZODIAC “Sherlock Holmes investigates the mysterious death of a self-taught astronomer who was found dead, without injury, in his observatory after announcing the discovery of a constellation representing the thirteenth sign of the zodiac. The result of this investigation is one of the most alarming of the detective's career.” # THE ENEMY'S FRIEND “When a renowned scientist is found dead in circumstances that defy all rational explanation—a room locked from the inside, invisible burn marks, and an enigmatic message written in the steam on a mirror—Holmes and Watson dive into one of the most baffling cases of their careers. The clues point to a close circle of collaborators and rivals, but nothing seems to make sense: each piece of evidence contradicts the previous one." # TIME WITHOUT TIME “Amidst a London marked by heavy rain and fog, seemingly senseless disappearances, and a mysterious letter, Holmes and Watson are called upon to unravel a case where the biggest culprit appears to be the weather itself, marked by intervals of unfathomable events involving science and honor.” # THE THEFT OF THE CENTURY “On a foggy day in London, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are called to investigate the “Theft of the Century,” where a valuable jewel mysteriously disappears from an impenetrable safe, with no signs of tampering. Holmes, with his sharp reasoning, examines the evidence and realizes that the impossible can be explained by a flaw in human perceptions of the laws of physics, where the solution to this case will challenge the very nature of matter."
