Two impossible crimes. Two chilling true-life inspirations. One unparalleled consulting detective.
Step back into the fog-shrouded streets of 1890s London with two meticulously crafted Sherlock Holmes mysteries. Written in the authentic, classic style of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, these thrilling pastiche novellas pit the great detective against cunning adversaries who have weaponized the very laws of human biology and physics.
The Enigma of Ashbourne Gables A locked room. A deadly timeline. A poison that defies medical logic. When wealthy young barrister Quentin Sterling suffers an agonizing death within the fortified walls of his Surrey estate, the local constabulary is paralyzed. The fatal dose of antimony should have struck instantly, yet the victim was completely isolated for hours before his collapse. With three bitter suspects—a resentful new wife, a desperate elderly companion, and a ruined physician—possessing ironclad alibis, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are summoned to break the deadlock. Holmes must look past untainted food and locked doors to uncover a diabolical killer who has engineered a chemical time-bomb. Can the great detective extract the invisible truth from the cold ashes of a bedroom hearth before a mastermind escapes justice?
The Singular Affair of the Highgate Bride A pristine crime scene. A continuous musical alibi. A drowning without a single spilled drop. The sweltering London summer is shattered when robust and fiercely independent Beatrice Pendelton is found drowned in the bath of an isolated Highgate villa. The coroner dismisses the tragedy as a heat-induced fainting spell, noting the victim bears no bruises, scratches, or signs of a struggle. Furthermore, her secretive new husband—who stands to inherit a sudden fortune and a newly minted life insurance policy—holds a flawless alibi, having been heard playing a mournful hymn on the parlour harmonium throughout the ordeal. Facing a biological impossibility, Holmes must unmask a predatory serial widower who has turned the sanctuary of a domestic bathtub into an enamelled sepulchre using the terrifying, unseen science of hydrodynamic shock.
