A classic locked-room mystery where Sherlock Holmes investigates a series of murders among isolated gentlemen in a gloomy ancestral mansion, balancing cerebral detective work with atmospheric dread.

The Good Comrades are a collection of varied gentlemen who crave one thing - solitude. They reside at Drearcliff House, ancestral home of their eldest member. All seems serene and convivial until one by one the members begin to perish in the most grisly of manners. Foul play is suspected by the Good Comrades' insurance agent, who turns to Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson for guidance.
