The Estates of Sherlock Holmes
How does the return of a man once thought lost challenge the very fabric of intellect, faith, and redemption? As Sherlock Holmes reemerges from the shadows of Europe to confront both old foes and inner demons, what truths will he and Dr. John Watson uncover that could forever change their understanding of justice and morality? And in a world where genius is often a double-edged sword, what lengths will Holmes go to, not only to outwit his greatest adversary, Professor Moriarty, but also to reclaim the soul of a man who has wandered too close to the abyss?
Lifelong Sherlockian scholar Thomas Mengert has drawn aside the curtain of history, unraveling and reweaving to reveal a deeper Sherlock Holmes than even the original works by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A decade in the making, The Confessions of Sherlock Holmes is a multi-volume pilgrimage that frames "the problem of evil" as a philosophical investigation in search of a theological answer.
The journey continues in The Estates of Sherlock Holmes as Holmes reunites with his eldest brother at the family estate in Yorkshire and embarks on a parallel journey to America, where the opulence of Newport's Gilded Age contrasts with his own inner exile. A tense encounter with Moriarty at Exeter marks the first clash in a new battle of wits, while Holmes builds a personal retreat that reflects his quest for belonging. Along the way, conversations with Dr. Mortimer on ancient religions add a mystical layer to their unfolding journey.
As the great detective has so often said, "The game is afoot "
