Nel 1915, Sherlock Holmes è in pensione e tranquillamente impegnato nello studio delle api da miele quando una giovane donna si imbatte letteralmente in lui, nella campagna del Sussex. Quindicenne, goffa, egocentrica e recentemente orfana, la giovane Mary Russell mostra un acume tale da impressionare persino il grande detective in un confronto arguto e di raffinata intelligenza. In principio riluttante, sotto la sua tutela, questa modernissima donna del XX secolo si dimostra un’abile allieva e una compagna degna del suo genio. Nel loro primo caso, devono rintracciare la figlia rapita di un senatore americano e confrontarsi con un avversario davvero astuto: un attentatore che ha messo in allarme gli investigatori e che non si fermerà davanti a nulla per porre fine alla loro “inedita” collaborazione.
