Extended description

Summoned home, Cambridge mathematician Mycroft Holmes, must reason with his teenage brother, Sherlock, who has fallen in with unsavory characters and taken to strange activities. Their father, a distracted intellectual, is less distressed by Sherlock's cocaine use than his single-minded pursuit of "particulars", putting him at risk of becoming an Aristotelian. Older brother Mycroft attempts to turn him from detective work to a higher vocation. But Sherlock is intent upon solving their mother's murder and Mycroft reluctantly agrees to assist.

Based on characters created by Arthur Conan Doyle, The Aristotelian is a short story of young and impetuous Sherlock Holmes pursuing clues while a more thoughtful Mycroft unsuccessfully tries to keep him out of trouble. All the while, a far more subtle mind is pursuing a murderous agenda.
