When the British government asks Harry Delamere to courier a secret document from Constantinople to Paris on the Orient Express, it seems such a simple way to cover a couple of months' rent and some outstanding bills. But somebody knows a lot more than he does, nobody trusts him, and pretty much everybody's trying to kill him. All the glamour of the Orient Express, melodrama, sinister foreign gentlemen, exotic foreign ladies, bandits, revolutionaries, assassins, surprises, disguises, explosions, breathtaking escapes from death, and an unfortunate incident in a Viennese lavatory.

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson have been summoned to the royal court by their university acquaintance Prince Hamlet. The prince is convinced that his father was murdered, and he's determined that Holmes will help him prove it.

"So we rode again into Scotland, Sherlock Holmes and I; only this time we came at the head of an army.'" A beautiful woman comes out of a storm to tell her macabre tale. And thus the legendary detective is confronted with his strangest case: the murder of King Duncan of Scotland, and the ascent to the throne of the haunted Macbeth.

It is 1648 and Britain is at war with itself. The Royalists are defeated but Parliament is in turmoil, its power weakened by internal discord.

John Thurloe is a young official in Cromwell's service. Confronted by the extent of the Royalists' secret intelligence network, he will have to fight the true power reaching into every corner of society: the Comptrollerate-General for Scrutiny and Survey.
