Synopsis

Across ten cases, an unidentified woman is found dead with a set of false teeth clutched in her hand, a young tutor is accused of an unusual art theft, and a Russian refugee in hiding is aided by Mary Watson before she disappears.

Shaw presents a mercurial, complex Holmes alongside a conflicted Watson, with a partnership rendered as nuanced and psychologically rich. Wry humour and Victorian pathos sit alongside familiar London details, from hansom cabs to fog, while the stories gesture towards concerns that still resonate with contemporary readers.
