(#8 in Wallander/#10 in Magnus Martinsson/#493 in Detective)
When the former Ystad detective, Magnus Martinsson decides it's time for a change, he decides to move to London and work there. With his involvement in a huge huge European banking case and a recommendation from Kurt, he lands a job working for Scotland Yard. After his first few days of working, he starts to notice a female detective, who tends to keep to herself, he finds out that her name is Y/N Dickson, and he should stay away from her. Y/N Dickson is a very focused, clever, insightful, and most of all has the habit to be socially cold and closed off. In her mind emotions only hold one back and in turn, make it near impossible to focus on work, deduction in her case.
It doesn't take long for her to catch Magnus' eye and want to get to know her better, despite what others have told him. A lot of times other detectives at the Yard will compare her skill and mannerisms to that of the famous detective, Sherlock Holmes, who keeps solving case after case just like their very own Y/N, though she does a better job of staying out of the public's eye. Magnus, who has been trying to get closer to her and break through this "social and emotional distance" she has, he notices the change in the way she will behave when people compare her to Sherlock, and the fact that she doesn't take it as a compliment, seeing as he is a great detective.
Around the same time, a new and very big threat comes to London and everyone in Scotland Yard needs to be on their top game in order to make it through, and for the first time in a few months need to enlist the help of Sherlock Holmes. What will happen when all three of their paths meet, and could it be that Y/N Dickson is more then she seems?
The world's only consulting detective, an ex-army doctor, an art therapist, and an American who loves music. These sound like four very different people, right?
Definitely.
Em isn't quite sure what she expects to deal with when she decides to leave her home in the US to go and live with her half-sister (Athena) all the way over in London at the address of 221C Baker Street. Being woken up from trying to sleep off her red-eye flight jet lag by all the ruckus being made by her and her sister's new 221B neighbor was not something she wanted to have to deal with right away. However, she storms up the stairs and gives Mister Sherlock Holmes a piece of her mind. How does he respond? What happens when the landlady (Mrs Hudson) suggests Sherlock look for a new flatmate in order to make paying the rent a bit easier on himself? And how does Em and Athena's dynamic with Sherlock change when Doctor John Watson walks into their lives?
Something dark and eerie lurks in the shadows, watching our team of four mystery solvers take the world of crime solving by storm. Eventually, things will be revealed about one of our Baker Street Four that will make the other three see them in a whole new light.
Well, might as well get started because... the game is on!
