Sherlock Holmes has never been able to resist a challenge so when Karl Marx turns up asking him to find his 'kidnapped' revolutionary tract Das Kapital, he agrees.

But, as Holmes discovers, Marx has enemies at home and abroad.

The great detective gets caught up in the crossfire between communists, anarchists and the British Establishment.
