In 1897 H.G. Wells told the story of Griffin, the man who became invisible and then could not return to normal. When he died he left his notes at the public house that later bore his name. Ten years later the journalist Langdale Pike calls at the Invisible Man, negotiates to buy the notebooks and goes to London to get the cash from his newspaper; before he can return to Sussex the landlord of the pub is murdered and the books stolen. Pike turns to his friend Dr. John Watson for help and, in the absence of Sherlock Holmes abroad, Watson applies Holmes methods in tracking down a killer. The trail leads to a self-styled magician, Aleister Crowley, and from him to another literary figure, Arthur Machen. Watson and Pike are involved in a number of incidents leading to the Imperial German Embassy and so to a house in Half Moon Street, where strange discoveries are made. Aided by Mycroft Holmes, Crowley and Scotland Yard, Watson can report success to Sherlock Holmes when the consulting detective returns from the Continent.

Mystery

Sherlock Holmes and his biographer, Dr. John Watson, are summoned to the presence of the consulting detective's brother, Mycroft, who demands that Sherlock should appear to retire from his practice, so that he can 'go undercover' in an anarchist group in East London. To Holmes's surprise the revolutionaries are led by an old adversary and, after the nihilists are dispersed, further clues led to yet another old enemy. The trail takes Holmes and Watson to Cornwall, where they find a macabre death in a private zoo and are nearly accused of murder. The pursuit leads Holmes to the court of the Tsar of all the Russians, where a demonstration of a weapon of unbelievable power takes place. In fact, the device is so earth-shattering that the Tsar refuses to accept that it was possible and dismisses its inventor, who turns his threats on London. Back in Baker Street, Holmes is confronted by the potential destruction of the capital and, with the active support of the Government (whose liaison officer with Baker Street is the young Winston Churchill), arranges the evacuation of London, although, at the last moment, the device is neutralized.
