Love troubles? Job difficulties? Health problems? If you're seeking answers, who better to find them than history's greatest detective, Sherlock Holmes? His keen powers of perception and extraordinary exploits have inspired this dazzling new divination deck, which draws its imagery from Victorian London's shadowy buildings and fog-bound streets. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories figure throughout, and original characters make up the Major Arcana.
