Bavaria, 13 June 1886. Two bodies are recovered from Lake Würm: King Ludwig II of Bavaria and his psychiatrist. Officially, their deaths are considered a tragic accident. Yet the circumstances surrounding that fateful night raise questions that have fascinated generations.
What almost nobody knows is that Sherlock Holmes personally investigated the mysterious death of the Bavarian king. Together with Dr Watson, the master detective examines the events surrounding Ludwig II’s final hours and searches for the truth behind one of the most enduring royal mysteries of the 19th century.
What really happened at Lake Würm? Was the king’s death truly an accident – or was there more behind the events than the official account revealed? Holmes’s conclusions remained under lock and key for decades. Until now.
Case 010: Ludwig II – A Royal Death is an atmospheric Sherlock Holmes historical mystery combining classic detective fiction with the real-life mystery surrounding the death of King Ludwig II of Bavaria.
