Overview

When a legendary royal treasure draws rival scholars, frightened laborers, and whispered threats to the treacherous marshlands of eastern England, Sherlock Holmes finds himself facing a mystery buried beneath seven centuries of mud, ambition, and obsession. Summoned by his brother Mycroft to investigate the troubled excavation of historian Richard Garrick, Holmes travels with Dr. Watson to The Wash, where King John's lost baggage train is said to have vanished in 1216. Sabotage, anonymous warnings, and sightings of a spectral figure have turned scholarship into superstition-and driven Garrick ever deeper into desperation. Accompanying them is Garrick's twelve-year-old son, Thomas, a gifted and observant boy whose sharp intellect catches Holmes's attention. As the investigation unfolds, Holmes becomes both detective and mentor, teaching Thomas the art of observation while uncovering a web of rivalry, fear, and deception. The Adventure of The Wash is a classic-style Sherlock Holmes mystery that blends historical intrigue, psychological depth, and atmospheric setting, exploring the costs of obsession, the meaning of evidence, and the quiet formation of a remarkable young mind.
