To catch a killer, one must act the part.

When ageing actor Ormond Basil arrives on the Greek island of Utakos he hopes only for a holiday and perhaps finally to shed the mantle of his most famous role: world-renowned sleuth Sherlock Holmes.

But when a body turns up in his hotel, the other guests, accustomed to seeing Ormond as the greatest detective of all time, pressure him to solve the mystery.

But even with their combined encyclopaedic knowledge of plots and killers, this case turns out to be anything but elementary...
