Maya wants to become a detective, but there is a problem...She is a woman and this is 1878
Dr. Chinew's first night in his new house is disturbed by a break-in. The intruder steals nothing but leaves behind a message - Death Comes to All.
Maya maintains she is not crazy, only different. Henry Camleman, the chief of Bombay Detective Agency, disagrees. He cannot think of any other reason why a (as far as he knew) reputable 21 year old woman would want to become a detective in his agency. Solving crimes in Cardim, a city teeming with crime and criminals, is fraught with danger and involves dealing with the kind of people he wouldn't imagine a woman mingling with in a thousand years. To humor the stubborn woman, however, he gives her a fairly harmless domestic case. A celebrated spiritualist claims that there are spirits in his house and Camleman wants Maya to prove otherwise. He hopes the case would keep Maya indulged in a puzzle of ghosts and spirits while keeping her safe from the grime of actual crimes.
Little does Camleman know the true extent of the affair. 
As Maya delves deeper into the mystery, it takes her little time to uncover a web of theft, deceit, betrayal and murder which would test the skills and perseverance of the amateur detective to the fore. Will she pass the first exam of her professional career?

The Unfinished Case// A Sherlock Story by BuckysFarm
26 parts Complete
The sound of hearts beat side by side "I don't understand?" Foot steps thudding, nowhere to hide "Don't you know what's at hand?" With nothing left, but only sin "Please" So let's stop... And let the games begin. They say there's this person. A person who can make the most dangerous armies turn around and run, a person who would be great to fight beside but fearful to fight against, whose mind is as powerful as her weapons and whose skills are said to be equivalent to the gods. This person, this girl, this crimson rose. Told to be unstoppable, unbreakable, and unsolvable. Well, unsolvable until Sherlock Holmes. "I don't know how this will end, but I do know one will rise and the other descends."

[PUBLISHING PAUSED UNTIL WRITING COMPLETION!] The art world is a place of beauty and inspiration, but also of hidden secrets. A corpse is found in one of the most unusual circumstances Greg Lestrade has ever seen, which means only one thing; it's straight to 221b Baker Street. Sherlock has never been very good around people or very used to it, let alone someone who seems to be on his wavelength. So what happens when one of John's best friends moves into town? Well, Sherlock finds himself in and amidst a new case, of course. But what does any of this have to do with an art gallery? Well... --- This book covers themes of a slightly mature nature; mentions of blood etc, much like a Sherlock episode and therefore may contain strong language. But if you want to experience the detective in action, then you've come to the right place. (I do not own the characters or IP of Sherlock nor claim to.)

Though she's always relied on her own brilliance to navigate life's challenges, something about Sherlock's mysterious presence calls to her. Their connection begins as a collaboration on complex cases, but soon, the quiet moments and unspoken glances hint at something deeper-something neither of them is ready to confront. Rose's life is far from perfect. Beneath her sharp mind lies the burden of a troubled past, and a heart that she's been desperately trying to protect. But as she grows closer to Sherlock, her emotions are thrown into turmoil. She begins to realize that her feelings for him are far stronger than she ever intended, but revealing them could shatter everything she's worked so hard to keep hidden.
