A Baskerville Hall, la scuola segreta per ragazzi con doti eccezionali, sta per iniziare il secondo trimestre e Arthur Conan Doyle non vede l'ora di tornare per rincontrare i suoi amici. Poco dopo il suo arrivo, però, qualcosa di terribile fa piombare Baskerville nell'atmosfera più cupa: il professore preferito di Arthur, il geniale e burbero Sherlock Holmes, viene ritrovato privo di sensi, riverso sulla sua scrivania, la pipa ancora fumante. Nessuno si spiega cosa possa essere successo, ma il giovane Doyle è convinto che si tratti di avvelenamento. Purtroppo quello di Holmes non rimarrà un caso isolato e a scuola indaga perfino un detective di Scotland Yard. È una corsa contro il tempo, le vite di più professori sono appese a un filo e Arthur dovrà vedersela con enigmi senza soluzione, misteri che affondano le radici nel passato, spiriti venuti da un mondo parallelo... E questa volta a essere messa alla prova non sarà solo la sua capacità investigativa, ma anche la lealtà dei suoi amici. Età di lettura: da 10 anni.
