In the course of smoking out a cunning art forgery ring in Paris, Sherlock Holmes becomes involved in the mystery of the death of a penniless artist. Officialdom pronounces the death of Vincent van Gogh a suicide, but Holmes is convinced it’s murder. And he’s determined to discover why a penniless painter who harmed no one had to be killed - and who killed him. Holmes must retrace the last months of Vincent’s life, testing his mettle against men like the brutal Paul Gauguin and the secretive Toulouse-Lautrec. From St. Remy to the rooftops of Paris, Holmes hunts a killer - while the killer hunts him.
