Sherlock Holmes has seen it all before.

Men after revenge, women running from the past, street rats with nothing to lose. Those who are in it for money, for love, for a way of escape. He has dealt with criminals and kings. He can fathom the motives of shopkeepers, peasant girls, dukes and professors.

Yet rarely does he find one who plays the game for its own sake.

Charlotte Winchester has barely hit twenty when the worst happens. One moment secure in her position as the educated, strong-willed heiress to the family fortune, the next moment running for her very life. Betrayed by the closest of friends, terrified for her brother's life, she quickly realizes how much is at stake.

She's willing to do anything.

And for once, Sherlock Holmes can't predict the outcome.

***

Inspired by the original Sherlock Holmes memoirs by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
