Upon docking in Ireland after high-seas adventures, adolescent Sherlock Holmes's brother, Mycroft, persuades him to journey to a coastal castle to investigate the veracity of a spiritualist's "gift." Soon, Sherlock is also unraveling secrets of the castle servants' fears, rumors of a menacing "Dark Beast," and, of course, murder. A gratifying sixth volume for fans of the iconic sleuth.
