Sherlock Holmes Discovers the Secrets of Wealth
After the masterful return of Sherlock Holmes and finishing the cases of the murders of Ronald Adair and Raschy Cooper, as well as the confirmation of the disappearance of the heir to Alsace, the famous detective receives a strange gift from a publisher: the novel of Frankenstein, which he reads avidly in just two nights, but it has a hidden message that can lead to a new investigation.
Meanwhile, Dr. Watson pays a visit to the famous detective because they have several pending tasks, which include: re-examining the incriminating evidence against Sebastian Moran, attending the trial of Raschy Cooper's killer and identifying the body of Godfrey Norton, due to a diplomatic and financial conflict with the French government.
However, Sherlock Holmes dismisses these activities, tells Dr. Watson about omissions in Frankenstein’s novel and insists on going to the publisher to request modifications to that book. Dr. Watson is surprised that this effort exceeds the search for Irene Adler, and he gets a big surprise at the Mainor publishing house.
A valuable book, The Secrets of Wealth, of which only one copy exists, was stolen from the safe, in the publisher's office, and it can be plagiarized and sold as an international best seller, in Europe and America, while the publisher has no way of proving that he owns the intellectual property rights.
The sensational Sherlock Holmes discovers how they found out the combination of the safe, who is the author of that crime and where is that stolen book. Nonetheless, he must confront the head of Scotland Yard, in order to recover that literary work, and once his mission is accomplished, he carefully analyzes the great secrets of wealth and reflects on how to put them into practice.
