Synopsis
THE MAN WHO WAS TWISTED BUT HIP. It is 1897 and France is torn apart by The Dreyfus Affair, a disgraceful episode of anti-Semitism that plagued France for a decade and brought out the worst of behavior in far too many French men and women. Westminster needs help from Sherlock Holmes to make sure that the evil tide of anti-Semitism that has engulfed France will not spread. While spending an uneventful morning searching for his nephew, Dr. Watson finds Sherlock Holmes and together they watch as a man is murdered, a direct consequence of the anti-Semitic conflict that is raging just across the Channel. Strangely, Holmes is sent by his older brother, Mycroft, to the home of a young officer in the Foreign Office who has suddenly resigned from his post and entered the theater. His wife knows that something is not right and calls upon Sherlock Holmes for help. All these events are linked together and the solving of the puzzle is to be found in the City of Light. To make matters worse, the evil professor may be behind it all, and there could be terrible consequences for the young couple and all of Europe. Sherlock and Watson run all over London and Paris solving the puzzle, thwart Moriarty, restore the young husband and wife to each other, and aid the right side of history that will eventually emerge from the dreadful Dreyfus affair.
