After spending decades living in the shadow of his more famous and successful sibling, Consulting Detective Sigerson Holmes is called upon to help solve a crucial case that leads him on a hilarious trail of false identities, stolen documents, secret codes... and exposed backsides.

VIBE

A charmingly silly romp through Victorian London. Expect witty banter, mistaken identities, and plenty of gentle, old-fashioned slapstick as a lesser-known Holmes sibling tries to step out of his brother's shadow.
