THE STORY: Sherlock Holmes has a hunch: John Watson is in love with Lily Berenger, a woman who wants the duo to protect her and her husband. But when Holmes and Watson's case turns from protection to investigation, the intoxicating effects of love cloud the minds of both the inquisitors and the suspects, leading to an impasse between the two friends over the murderer's true identity—and an unsolved mystery.
Decades later, the esteemed inspector Hercule Poirot receives a similar request for protection from a client and brings along his best friend, Arthur Hastings, to help. History repeats itself, and Poirot and Hastings end up investigating a murder after their client turns up dead. The more Poirot works on the case, the more the particulars of this murder remind him of an unsolved case that Holmes set out to solve years earlier—and now it seems it might take two of the most famous detectives to unravel the mystery.
