Details:

The story opens to the fight between Holmes and Moriarty, his arch-enemy, above the Reichenbach Falls, when both appear to plunge to their deaths. Back in London, the awful news of Sherlock Holmes death is shouted by the newspaper sellers. Holmes disguised as a porter saves Dr Watson from a rifle bullet and returns with him to 221b Baker Street, whereupon Mrs Hudson faints from the shock of seeing Holmes alive.

Autumn 1897, Holmes is asked by Sir Jevons Jarndyce to retrieve the House of Commons mace, but he pretends not to be interested. With the help of the Baker Street Irregulars the mace is returned much to Inspector Lestrades’ amazement. The Duchess of Monmouth tries to get Holmes to find her King Charles spaniel and it dawns on Holmes that the two cases can only point to Moriarty!

Miss Bella Spellgrove is confident that Holmes can help return her painting of a stranger and he invites her into his home much to Mrs Hudson’s disapproval. She is, of course, Bella Moriarty set on revenge. She disappears and Holmes uses the Irregulars to try and find her. At her painting studio, she entraps Holmes and appears to drug him, but even when goaded by Mrs Moriarty she cannot plunge a dagger into him. The body of Maria Moriarty, who has died from illness, is left by the side of Holmes after Mrs Moriarty has made it appear that Holmes has killed her. Holmes is arrested by Lestrade, but later released so that he can find the truth, salvage his reputation and find Bella, the new Morairty.
