In a five part story based on the BBC TV show SHERLOCK, the legendary detective, Sherlock Holmes, and his mild-manner companion, John Watson, face five original adventures written by WattyAwards2012 Finalist, E. K. Sloyer. The two partners in crime face a criminal that can only be tracked through John's past; a mysterious voice bent on destroying Sherlock through a member of the Royal family; and lastly, a nemesis that is determined to prove that Sherlock's dead...though, all the while, the great detective is one step ahead of all of them. __________________ IN EDITING PROCESS COMPLETED 2013 #54 in Mystery/Thriller

Only four people know of the true state Sherlock Holmes was in just before he met John Watson. The darkness, the drugs, the voices, her. You could argue that her death triggered it. Now that John has left Sherlock to live with his wife it is inevitable that Sherlock will go back to how he was. Until somebody knocks on his door. He wasn't the only one to fake his death. (Set in between TSoT and HLV)

John's never seen a kid like him. He has this beautiful, crazy grace - withheld behind a smug smile and wisecracks that make John frustrated in so many different kinds of ways. And his eyes; crystal clear, decisive, cleaning through the unimportant things to find the valuables in life. He may or may not have a thing for smoking and James Bond, his favorite ice cream is mint with a chocolate swirl, and he is absolutely addicted to Pop Rocks and toffee. He enjoys pretty boys and warehouses, where he can hoard and think and be alone. Also, bumper cars, and John Watson. But Sherlock Holmes's thing, his niche, his calling in life... is to steal. Books. Wallets. Phones. Cars. Everything you've ever wanted, he's had. Everything you've ever wished for, he's stolen. Everything you are, everything you told yourself that you weren't, he owns, and he plays you like an out-of-tune violin. Does that mean that John's going to let him steal his heart? Not a shot in hell.
