Two strangely connected murders. An eve-of-war catastrophe. And a
new sleuth determined to help Holmes against all odds... London,
1896-A prominent banker is found dead in an unsavory part of the
city. Hours later, the charred remains of another body are
discovered on a beach in Dover. An intriguing link between the two
murders brings the case to the forefront of Sherlock Holmes's
attention. The famed detective's investigation has barely begun,
however, when the Secretary of War summons him with catastrophic
news: on the eve of war, a new British superweapon has fallen into
the wrong hands. Holmes must recover it, or risk dooming all of
England to a dark fate for generations to come. Holmes and his
faithful partner Watson make plans to track the weapon down in
Germany, where Brits are unwelcome and dangers lurk everywhere. But
they're not alone in their endeavors: over Holmes's stern
objection, his recently discovered grown daughter Lucy insists on
helping the duo find the weapon and solve the two murders. Lucy's
sleuthing skills prove as formidable as her father's, and soon
enough, the trail of clues in Germany lead the three detectives to
a sinister plot that puts them directly in the line of fire. Can
they evade danger, solve a double murder and save the Empire? A
thrilling and fast-paced take on a classic Sherlock who-done-it,
complete with unexpected twists and turns and international
intrigue. A feel-good mystery with a twist ending, The Wilhelm
Conspiracy stays faithful to the spirit of the beloved original
series, and features appearances from real-life notables Nikola
Tesla, King Edward VII, and Kaiser Wilhelm II. Whispersync enabled
