Description
Sherlock Holmes and the Twelve Thefts of Christmas unfolds with Sherlock Holmes’s discovery of a mysterious musical score, initiating a devious Christmas challenge set by Irene Adler. This challenge involves clues that are all variations on the theme of ‘theft without theft’, such as a statue missing from a museum, found hidden in the room it was taken from.
In the snowy London lead-up to Christmas, Holmes’s preoccupation with the "Adler Variations" risks him neglecting the case of his new client, Norwegian arctic explorer Fridtjof Nansen. Nansen has received a series of threats in the form of animal carcasses left on his doorstep. Could they really be gifts from a strange spirit that has pursued Nansen since the completion of his expedition to cross Greenland? And might this case somehow be related to Irene Adler’s great game?
