ABOUT THIS SEASON 

  Wounded in Afghanistan while in the Army, Dr. John Watson returns to contemporary London and though a mutual acquaintance becomes the flatmate at Mrs. Hudson's house at 221B Baker Street with brilliant if eccentric private investigator Sherlock Holmes. There have been three identical apparent suicides, and Inspector Lestrade asks for Sherlock's intervention over the fourth, the suspicious death of Jennifer Wilson. As she lay dying she wrote 'Rachel' in the dust and Sherlock deduces that this was not only the name of her stillborn daughter of many years earlier but the password to her mobile phone. Jennifer sent a text to her killer to give a clue as to their identity. This leads Sherlock to a meeting in a deserted college with a terminally ill serial killer, slaying people for kicks, to show superiority over the rest of society and determined to make Sherlock the next victim.

  In a re-telling of the classic story set in modern day London, Dr. John Watson, recently invalided out of the army following his service in Afghanistan, agrees to share a flat with a private detective, Sherlock Holmes. Watson is amazed at Holmes' powers of observation as well as at his eccentricities. Holmes has occasionally helped the police, and DI Lestrade in particular, whose current case is most baffling. They are investigating the deaths of four people, all of whom apparently committed suicide. However, several connections in the cases lead the police to think that there may be another explanation. Holmes agrees to assist, particularly after studying the most recent crime scene where the victim, a lady dressed in pink, scratched the word RACHE on the floor boards. With Watson providing what proves to be invaluable assistance, the game is afoot.
