Released in April 2012, Sherlock Holmes - The Adventure of the Perfidious Mariner featured Nicholas Briggs as Holmes, with Richard Earl as Watson in a brand new adventure written by Jonathan Barnes:

The world’s foremost criminal investigator has turned his back on the past, hiding from the world and thinking himself immune to its excesses. Yet he is about to be faced by an old friend, to encounter the most hated man in England and to grapple with the painful implications of the Titanic disaster. More troubling still, he will be forced to try to solve a new and unexpected mystery – one of the most diabolical and fiendish murders with which he has ever been confronted…
