   Summary

   "When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford."
   — Samuel Johnson

   Sherlock Holmes; mind of legend, heart of complication, is diagnosed with early-onset dementia at 43.

   John Watson; soldier, doctor, best friend, maybe more, becomes his anchor, his historian, his companion.

   This is the story of their life as it shrinks: from crime scenes to quiet cottages, from sharp conversation to shared silences. A love story told as a memory disintegrates.
