Set in England and Trinidad, the story centres on Mycroft, a recent university graduate working for the British Secretary of State for War. Mycroft learns from his best friend of troubling events occurring in Trinidad—mysterious disappearances, dead children, and strange, backward-facing footprints in the sand.

Mycroft goes to Trinidad to investigate and to follow his fiancée, Georgiana, who was raised on the island. Sherlock has a cameo as a King's College student.

Mycroft Holmes is a gripping tale filled with intrigue and adventure, set in a richly detailed historical context.
