The world of Holmes is a world of contradictions. Mysteries no author has solved... until now. How does one man's quest through the heart of Rome challenge the very foundations of power, faith, and friendship? Faced with a conspiracy that spans continents and centuries, what truths will Dr. John Watson uncover that could alter the course of history? And in a world where loyalty is often a mere currency, what price is Dr. Watson willing to pay to save his closest friend, Sherlock Holmes, and uphold the balance of international peace? Lifelong Sherlockian scholar Thomas Mengert has drawn aside the curtain of history, unraveling and reweaving to reveal a deeper Sherlock Holmes than even the original works by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A decade in the making, The Confessions of Sherlock Holmes is a multi-volume pilgrimage that frames "the problem of evil" as a philosophical investigation in search of a theological answer. The journey continues in Dr. Watson's Mission to Rome as Watson embarks on a perilous journey to Rome while Holmes battles a dire illness, casting a shadow over his formidable intellect. Navigating through a maze of deceit, ancient secrets, and political intrigue, Watson's loyalty, courage, and intellect are tested as never before, challenging him to unravel mysteries that could alter the course of history, all while safeguarding the legacy of his greatest friend. As the great detective has so often said, "The game is afoot!"
