Holmes and Watson are soon on the trail of a mysterious figure in black, whose astounding speed and agility make capture impossible.

But what links the two crimes, and do they have anything to do with the suicide of an unpopular schoolteacher at a remote boarding school? So begins a case that will reveal the dark shadows that past misdeeds can cast, and test the companions to their limits...
