Inghilterra, 1868. Le giornate del giovane Sherlock sono straordinariamente monotone: in collegio riceve un'istruzione classica e lezioni di buone maniere per diventare un cittadino modello dell'Impero britannico. Per lui si prospetta un'estate noiosissima, ospite nella tenuta dei suoi eccentrici zìi, fino a quando un misterioso omicidio non viene a turbare la tranquillità della campagna inglese. I cadaveri di due uomini, ritrovati a breve distanza l'uno dall'altro, sono ricoperti di strane pustole che farebbero pensare a un'epidemia, se non fosse che la causa della loro morte non ha nulla di naturale. Incurante del pericolo e incoraggiato dal suo precettore, un americano dal passato di "cacciatore di taglie", Sherlock inizia a investigare per portare alla luce un diabolico piano di distruzione. Comincia così la sua prima sfida contro uno dei suoi più acerrimi e geniali nemici, dove rapimenti, inseguimenti e sabotaggi si susseguono a ritmo incalzante.
