The British Library Manuscript Murder | A Sherlock Holmes Mystery

Описание: In the high-security vaults of the King’s Library at the British Library, a sanctuary of human knowledge becomes the stage for an impossible crime. For Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson, a late-night summons to the archives unveils a chilling discovery: Professor Edward Thorneycroft, a world-renowned expert on apocryphal gospels, found dead inside a sealed glass vitrine. The case is a baffling locked-room mystery—the Professor lay atop the priceless Codex Sinaiticus, with the only key to the display case still tucked safely in his own pocket.

While the police are confounded by the lack of physical evidence, Sherlock Holmes—with his razor-sharp logic and keen observation—focuses on the only anomaly: a single, charred scrap of parchment clutched in the dead man's hand. What appeared to be a tragic accident or sudden illness quickly reveals a web of betrayal, greed, and a secret so dangerous it has been buried for centuries. The intellectual peace of the library is shattered as Holmes and Watson track a killer who moves like a shadow through the corridors of history.

Just when you think you've deduced the culprit among the rival scholars and secretive collectors, Holmes unveils a connection so shocking it redefines the very meaning of the case. Prepare for a classic whodunit where the greatest truths are written in the margins of the past, and the only thing colder than the stone vaults of London is a murderer’s heart.
