Sherlock in Love

How did Sherlock Homes come into possession of a true Stradivarius?  Who was the one true love of the great detective’s life?  And what shattering disappointment left the detective with feelings of overwhelming melancholy?  As Holmes’s great friend, Dr. Watson, sets out to answer these questions and recount the thrilling “lost” adventure of Holmes’s attempt to rescue the love of his life from a mad King Ludwig of Bavaria, his own life is threatened by a figure in a familiar Inverness coat and deerstalker cap.
