Hands of a Murderer

A new case for master detective Sherlock Holmes! His arch-enemy Professor Moriarty was supposed to be executed, but the super-criminal manages to escape. His revenge is on one man: Sherlock Holmes. It all begins when documents containing closely guarded government secrets are stolen from his brother, Mycroft Holmes, with highly explosive content against the backdrop of an impending world war... The British television film takes a relatively free approach to the characters and motifs of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's novels, capturing the atmosphere of the era of the popular British master detective. The result is an entertaining, independent Sherlock Holmes thriller set in attractive historical locations, accompanied by a remarkably lively score by Colin Towns.
