Sherlock Holmes – The Mystery of the Valkyrie QPAC

Sherlock Holmes – The Mystery of the Valkyrie QPAC

The story begins with a gruesome murder at London’s Birlstone Manor, where what initially appears to be a straightforward investigation quickly spirals into a much darker web of intrigue - and brings Holmes face-to-face with his most infamous enemy, Professor Moriarty.
