Traveling incognito after his "death" in the Reichenbach Falls, Sherlock Holmes meets in Paris the American writer Henry James-a modern classic, the author of such books as "Portrait of a Woman", "The Bostonians", "The Turn of the Screw". He recognizes the famous detective, despite all the disguise – and is involved in the orbit of his new investigation. Together with Holmes, James goes to America, where he has not been for many years; the master of the word must help the father of the deductive method solve the mystery of the death of Clover Adams, the wife of the historian Henry Adams (the heir to the dynasty that has already given America two presidents), and also answer the question that has tormented Holmes for the past few years: is he a fictional character?..
