Jason en Julia, elfjarige tweelingen, zijn net verhuisd naar villa Argo, een enorm huis op de top van een klif. De beheerder van de villa is Nestor, een oude, zwijgzame tuinman die veel lijkt te weten over de geheimen van het huis. Wat kan een stel avontuurlijke kinderen meer fascineren dan een huis vol mysterieuze, afgesloten kamers dat ze voor zichzelf hebben? Op een avond, terwijl hun ouders in Londen zijn, besluiten Jason en Julia samen met hun vriend Rick het huis te verkennen. Ze stuiten op een deur die verborgen is achter een kast en die niet te openen is. De deur heeft vier sloten, maar geen van de sleutels in het huis lijkt te passen. Wat zit er achter die deur? En waarom is deze verborgen? De kinderen besluiten dat ze de deur moeten openen, koste wat het kost. Zo begint een avontuurlijke zoektocht naar een schat, vol geheime gangen, verborgen deuren, raadsels om op te lossen, en uiteindelijk een magische grot in de diepten van de klif, waar ze een ongelooflijke verrassing zullen ervaren.

Proprio mentre l'umore di Holmes si sta irrimediabilmente incupendo, come sempre durante le feste, un improvviso mistero trascina i tre in una temeraria avventura: il direttore del British Museum è stato assassinato in circostanze enigmatiche, che spingono i giornali a scrivere di un'oscura maledizione che affonderebbe le sue radici nell'antico Egitto. Irene, Sherlock e Lupin indagano, dipanando il filo di un caso inquietante, fino all'ultimo colpo di scena.
