It was an incredible year, the start of a new century. Queen
Victoria was still on the throne, the Paris Exposition was the talk
of Europe and Count Zeppelin was conquering the air. The Tsar had
completed the Trans-Siberian Railway, the Boxer Rebellion surged
through China, in South Africa the Boers of the Transvaal and the
Orange Free State defied the British Empire, and at home Sherlock
Holmes was at the peak of his powers. It was not a case of when the
great detective's powers were needed but where. Mycroft sends for
both his brother Sherlock and Dr Watson to help solve the mystery
of lost secret plans and of missing gold in the fight that will
become the Second Boer War. Watson accompanies his friend Dr Arthur
Conan Doyle and Langman's Hospital to the battlefields of the Boer
Republics as Holmes tries to stop the leak of information and
recover a king's ransom. The biggest question is who to trust in a
land ravaged by war and with countless conflicting loyalties. Will
Holmes and Watson stop the leak before Lord Roberts tries to take
Pretoria?
