London. A snowy December, 1888. Sherlock Holmes, 34, is languishing and back on cocaine after a disastrous Ripper investigation. Watson can neither comfort nor rouse his friend - until a strangely encoded letter arrives from Paris.

Mlle La Victoire, a beautiful French cabaret star writes that her illegitimate son by an English lord has disappeared, and she has been attacked in the streets of Montmartre.

Racing to Paris with Watson at his side, Holmes discovers the missing child is only the tip of the iceberg of a much larger problem. The most valuable statue since the Winged Victory has been violently stolen in Marseilles, and several children from a silk mill in Lancashire have been found murdered. The clues in all three cases point to a single, untouchable man.

Will Holmes recover in time to find the missing boy and stop a rising tide of murders? To do so he must stay one step ahead of a dangerous French rival and the threatening interference of his own brother, Mycroft.

This latest adventure, in the style of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, sends the iconic duo from London to Paris and the icy wilds of Lancashire in a case which tests Watson's friendship and the fragility and gifts of Sherlock Holmes' own artistic nature to the limits.

Versatile and easy to use
Color: Dark Grey, Size: 7 Seat, Color: Dark Grey, Size: 7 Seat
This couch was great for the price! Came in about 5 boxes with instructions in each box and the necessary parts for each piece in the corresponding box. It took my husband an afternoon to put it all together and he said it was very easy. The back cushions attach by velcro which is great in some ways but in others not so much. Our cat likes to lay on the back of the couch and that has caused the cusion to indent and pull away from the velcro. We've only had the couch a week and that cushion is already not wanting to reform. The pull out bed is very easy to use even with my back issues. The storage is fantastic. Every cushion comes off for easy washing. Cushions are firm and comfy. All in all 100% worth the money so far.

Favorite Couch Ever! 💗
Color: Dark Grey, Size: 7 Seat, Color: Dark Grey, Size: 7 Seat
This couch far exceeded my expectations. It was on sale for $750 when I purchased it which is a steal! The cushions are EXTREMELY soft and comfortable. Its appearance is very modern and saves up so much space! The height is perfect and it easily folds back to make it not like a day bed. Personally we leave it like this especially with a baby because it gives us a lot of room to stretch out and again SUPER COMFORTABLE. The fabric is phenomenal and very easy to clean! 10/10 definitely recommend! Would purchase again! The storage area is perfect for pillows and blankets as the ottoman can hold things as well as the chase WHICH can be accessed while the couch is in “day bed mode” as I say. Nothing but good things to report!

Nice couch for the price
Color: Black, Size: 7 Seat, Color: Black, Size: 7 Seat
Nice and firm I was able to put it up by myself in about three hours. It is really cute The material is soft. I really like it. It was super easy to put together. It came in 4 different boxes, I was worried because people said they got the boxes on different days luckily, I got the whole couch the same day and put together that night. I’m happy with this purchase. Can’t wait to sit on it and watch TV. I just wanna give it a few days to let the seat cushions recover.

Love the storage and pull-out
Color: Dark Grey, Size: 7 Seat, Color: Dark Grey, Size: 7 Seat
The size is great and fits nicely in the corner without feeling too bulky, but still has plenty of seating. The dark grey color looks clean in person and matches my space really well — not too light, not too dark. The pull-out part is honestly one of my favorite features. It slides out pretty smoothly and turns into a big lounging area or bed. I’ve already used it to relax and watch TV and it’s really comfortable. The storage compartment is also bigger than I expected — I can fit blankets and a few extra things in there easily, which helps keep everything more organized. Comfort-wise, I’d say it’s medium-firm. Not super soft like a cloud couch, but still comfortable enough for everyday use. The cushions seem to hold their shape pretty well so far. Assembly took a bit of time and it’s easier with two people, but overall it wasn’t too complicated. Once it’s set up, it feels pretty sturdy. If I had to nitpick, the cushions do shift a little after sitting for a while, so you may need to adjust them occasionally. But for the price, I think that’s pretty normal.

very nice for the money
Color: Dark Grey, Size: 5 Seat, Color: Dark Grey, Size: 5 Seat
Very comfy. The color is perfect. The back pillows do shift when leaning against them but a throw pillow or two helps comfort. The material is soft. And it was fairly easy to assemble with 2 people.
