The plot
Holmes receives a coded warning message about a man called Douglas who is in danger at a house called Birlstone. The message comes from someone inside the organization of Professor Moriarty, Holmes's greatest enemy.
Before Holmes can act, news arrives that Douglas has been murdered at Birlstone Manor. A mysterious branded mark is found on his arm.
Holmes investigates and uncovers a strange story. But the truth lies far away in America's past, in a valley of fear where a secret society once ruled through intimidation and violence.
Who really killed Douglas? What is the meaning of the branded mark? And how is the evil Professor Moriarty connected to this crime?
