The Scottish ploy

"Seemingly unconnected events are pulling Mycroft Holmes in several directions at once. There are the usual dispatches to read and spy networks to monitor, England's and those of the enemies of the Empire. European politics seem to be heating up again and, to prevent the leaders of an anarchist group from reaching England's shores, Mycroft must, much to his dismay, become part of the intended reconciliation of a husband and wife."--Jacket.
