“One has to be discreet when one talks of high matters of state. You are right in thinking that he is under the British government. You would also be right in a sense if you said that occasionally he is the British government.” – Sherlock Holmes Mycroft Holmes, the older brother of Sherlock Holmes, is an enigmatic figure gifted with greater intellect and observational abilities than even the great detective. As his new secretary, Patterson Guthrie is not prepared for Mycroft Holmes’s world of secrets. Nor is he ready for the ruthless arena of international politics, including the assassinations, double agents, spy masters, anarchist cabals, and intrigue that are all part the game that Mycroft Holmes is a dangerous player in.
