Seeking to get out from under the shadow of his famous father, Dr. John Watson, and his father's even more famous friend, Sherlock Holmes, young Thomas Watson signs on as a newspaper reporter in Philadelphia -- a city that rivals Al Capone's Chicago for its crime and corruption. Now Thomas suddenly finds himself caught up in the biggest story of his career: a suspicious explosion at a speakeasy, which kills the owner and his card-playing buddies.
From the scanty clues that Thomas compiles, he and Sherlock's older brother, Mycroft, set out to solve the case. But can the pair uncover the truth and reveal the killer before one or both become the next victim?
