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

"Jealousy and greed were a twin-headed snake that had not even shown her face, and yet Sherlock could already feel her coiling around his throat and flexing her fangs oh so dangerously close to his jugular. She was a looming phantom; a sickening nectar that always managed to find its way into his veins; a vision of what the future held." Sherlock Holmes can only be described as a deluge of curiosities, despite being a man of his work (and only his work). Intrigued, Julia Ruth Fuller writes to him as often as possible from her drab home in Glasgow, living with her parents as a recently unemployed waitress, trying to make end's-meet. Upon hearing that her aunt, Martha Hudson, is sudden ill, she manages to scrounge up enough money and finds herself flying to London to be at her side. Before she knows it, Julia has to make sacrifices and face her fears, all in order to bring a stop to London's black market organ trade.Complete

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.
