Από την έρευνα διαπιστώθηκε ότι η Σοφία είχε στρατολογηθεί από την ομάδα των "Ηλυσίων", μια σχεδόν θρησκευτική σέχτα παθιασμένη με τους αρχαιοελληνικούς μύθους και τελετές, επικεφαλής της οποίας ήταν ο χαρισματικός σερ Φίλιπ Μπιουκάναν. O Χολμς ανακαλύπτει ότι η Χάνα, θέλοντας να βρει τι απέγινε η φίλη της, έχει ήδη εισχωρήσει στην ομάδα των Ηλυσίων με ψεύτικο όνομα.

Εν τω μεταξύ, ο σερ Φίλιπ οραματίζεται την αναμόρφωση της ανθρωπότητας σύμφωνα με τα κλασικά ιδεώδη, χωρίς να αναλογίζεται το ολέθριο τίμημα... Ένα απολαυστικό μυθιστόρημα μυστηρίου με εξαιρετικές στιγμές αγωνίας και έντασης.
