Sherlock comes face-to-face with the criminal he calls “the worst man in London”: Charles Augustus Milverton. This ruthlessly efficient blackmailer has slithered out of the law’s grasp for decades, his prey preferring to remain silent rather than have their secrets aired in public. To catch him, Sherlock will have to learn not only how to think like a criminal…but how to act like one.
