• New Sherlock theme: Travel back to Victorian England and take residence in 221B Baker Street to solve the murder case with a cast of nine suspects, including the Master Detective Sherlock Holmes himself. Use your sharp deduction skills to eliminate the impossible and find the ever so improbable and shocking truth of who is behind Dr. Black’s nefarious murder.
  

It’s an open secret in London’s underworld that Plum is a crooked copper who has turned a blind eye to Dr Black’s smuggling schemes. Rumour has it that Black started paying Plum less and less, and when Plum complained, Black threatened to expose his corruption. Perhaps Plum wanted to ensure that his superiors never learned his dirty secrets?

Peacock was once a lady of nobility. Dr Black made romantic advances towards the young Peacock at her debutante ball, but she had heard the rumours about him. She rejected Black, and he did not take it well. He vowed to ruin Peacock and her family, and he did. She was forced onto the streets to live in penury. Perhaps she has been plotting her revenge?

Nurse Peach has just returned from the Western Front, where she saw great horrors while doing her best to save injured soldiers. Vital medicines were in short supply, and many men died as a result. Back in London, Peach learned that Dr Black’s profiteering had been a major cause of the shortage. Perhaps she sought to avenge the fallen soldiers she could not help?

Did you know that a very special character is making a return in the Sherlock theme?

Rusty is a boss of the criminal underworld who rules the dockyards with an iron fist. Dr Black was known to run his smuggling operations through Rusty’s docks. Until recently the pair had an uneasy alliance, but rumours suggest that Rusty hiked the price of his protection racket. If Dr Black refused to play along, perhaps Rusty felt the need to make an example of him?
