Sherlock Holmes: Lord of Damnation

Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson take a voyage to an African island and its city of New London, a meticulous copy of the British London they know so well. Instead of pea souper fogs there’s oppressive tropical heat, while at night hyenas and leopards prowl the elegant boulevards. Yet despite its metropolitan splendour, New London has an unofficial but decidedly sinister name: Damnation! Holmes is in New London to give a lecture to the local police on scientific methods of criminal detection, but his  priorities change when the city’s governor suddenly disappears, bringing with it the threat of anarchy. There’s worse to come when a sinister figure from Holmes’ past conspires to wreak a terrible vengeance, while the great detective’s friendship with the ever loyal Doctor Watson is pushed to the limits…because of a plant! The Lucifer Vine inflicts madness, destroys once-unassailable alliances, and turns friendships into hatred. Holmes and Watson are plunged into the fight of their lives as their bonds of sanity and brotherhood are tested to the absolute limit.
