In a futuristic 1895 London, an alien ambassador comes to Mr. Sherlock Holmes and Doctor and Captain John Watson with a thorny problem. Unknown malefactors are planning her assassination.Yet at the same time, their client claims that that event might not particularly matter. It falls to the two humans to lay bare the shadowy truths behind the threat against their visitor, and to prevent an assassination that (if it does succeed) will have effects much more far-reaching and severe than the mere death of their client.

The story originally appeared in a shorter version in Multiverse of Mystery: A Holmes and Watson Anthology, and is published here for the first time in its original longer form.
