The Story

The detective investigates his own murder

Inspired by the iconic characters of Arthur Conan Doyle, ‘Who Killed Sherlock Holmes?’ presents an original story that reinvents the fate of the legendary detective in a gripping mystery full of intrigue, humor, and unexpected twists.

In Victorian London, a mysterious host sends invitations to strangers. Each note reads: “You have been discovered. Come tonight to my mansion on Tennison Road if you want to save yourself.” At the appointed time, Dr. Watson, Irene Adler, Professor Moriarty, and the mysterious Mrs. Roberts gather at the mansion without knowing each other.

The host delivers unexpected news: Sherlock Holmes is going to be murdered… by one of them. The detective will arrive to face the most difficult case of his career and the unsettling presence of Irene, the only person who ever managed to outsmart him. Sometimes, the most dangerous thing is discovering the truth.
