Synopsis

Described as “Baker Street bedrock”, this novel brings together Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Watson and Mrs Hudson at the beginning of something significant, as three young souls are drawn together by a shared desire for justice. It is presented as a genesis story of friendship, with Mrs Hudson’s role placed firmly in view.

The cast includes Arsene Lupin, Félix Calabar, Lily Langtry, the Imperial Theatre Orchestra, the Irregular’s and the Prince of Wales, all connected to Holmes’ work on a murder mystery. Alongside the investigation, the book explores women’s history, including the “immensely creative approach to freedom” crafted by ladies of the Anglo-Jewish Community, and sets Holmes against a vengeful villain as his consulting detective practice is born. Suitable for readers of Sherlock Holmes fiction.
