    • Sherlock Holmes se enfrenta a su mayor desafío cuando conoce a los Cenobitas, los infames sirvientes del infierno. A finales de 1895, Sherlock Holmes y su fiel compañero, el Dr. John Watson, son llamados para investigar un caso de personas desaparecidas. A primera vista, parece un misterio que Holmes podría disfrutar, ya que la persona en cuestión desapareció de una habitación cerrada, y es algo que lo ocupa más que poner a prueba los límites de su mente y cuerpo. Pero este es solo el comienzo de una investigación que los llevará a contactar con una organización sombría de la que se habla en susurros y conocida solo como 'La Orden de la Gash'. A medida que más personas desaparecen de manera similar, las pistas apuntan a un siniestro asilo en Francia y al inframundo de Londres. Sin embargo, es un inframundo completamente diferente el que Holmes pronto descubrirá, ya que se encuentra cara a cara no solo con aquellos seguidores que cumplen con los deseos de la Orden en la Tierra, sino con aquellos que le sirven en el infierno: los Cenobitas...
