About the story.

An injured engineer arrives with an extraordinary account of a private commission. A generous payment, an isolated destination, and an employer demanding secrecy have drawn him into work whose purpose he did not fully understand.

Holmes and Watson must reconstruct events after the danger has already become real. Technical details and a client’s growing suspicions lead into one of Baker Street’s more unnerving adventures.
