In this stand-alone 'anthology-style' issue Mycroft Holmes relates three suspense-filled tales from his secret files! Firstly, we are introduced to Inspector Blackmoore and Lilith Arcadia of Scotland Yard's mysterious Confidential Branch (aka The Boneyard) as they deal with a supernatural murder! Second, we meet reporter Harry Harker of the Central News Agency, a man who won't let the impossible get in the way of a chilling news story.  Finally Mycroft tells us of his own encounter with one of the greatest criminal masterminds of the Victorian age when the diabolical Dr. Nikola returns, and he's not alone!
