Synopsis

Sherlock Holmes’s connection with the Baker Street Irregulars is brought to the foreground, exploring the largely untold role played by the band of street children he drew from London’s slums. Their involvement reaches into some of his strangest investigations, from a gruesome execution staged with a cannon to a figure convinced he can prolong life through the blood of others, and a jewel robbery on an unprecedented scale.

The story opens in post-First World War London, as a visit to a mysterious photography exhibition prompts Holmes to revisit earlier adventures with Wiggins, Ugly, Kate and others. Those memories set the stage for a reunion that turns suddenly, as celebration gives way to tragedy and a new, dangerous episode begins. Suitable for readers drawn to Sherlock Holmes-inspired fiction.
