Its the season of peace and goodwill, but a Victorian Christmas is no holiday for the world's most popular detective in this new book from Bonnie MacBird, author of the bestselling Sherlock Holmes novel "Art in the Blood."
Christmas 1890, and games are afoot. In a packed Oxford Street, a man tries to kidnap a young woman's child, but Holmes and Watson leap to their rescue and the assailant escapes empty-handed. Who would do such a thing? And more importantly, will he strike again?
From the depths of London's workhouses to the pinnacle of a glittering Christmas Eve party in Mayfair, this is to be a Christmas that will require not only Holmes's celebrated scientific method but also the bravery for which he and Watson are renowned. And the final solution will demand something more from the Great Detective—something Watson has never before observed in his friend.
The streets of London are alive with the sounds of carolers and the aroma of roasted chestnuts, but beneath the surface, a dark and mysterious force is stirring. A series of seemingly unconnected incidents has been plaguing the city, leaving a trail of blood and confusion in its wake.
Holmes and Watson are called upon to investigate, and as they delve deeper into the case, they discover that the stakes are higher than they ever imagined. The kidnapper they are chasing is not just a common criminal, but a master manipulator who has a hidden agenda.
As the Christmas Eve party draws near, the tension mounts, and the duo must use all of their skills and resources to outwit their nemesis. They must navigate through a web of lies and deceit, and confront the darkest corners of their own minds and hearts.
In the end, the Great Detective and his trusted companion emerge victorious, but not without paying a heavy price. They have learned that the true meaning of Christmas is not just about the gifts and the decorations, but about the courage and the sacrifice it takes to face the darkness and bring light to the world.
This is a Christmas story that will leave readers on the edge of their seats, filled with suspense, mystery, and heartwarming moments of friendship and love. It is a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit and the enduring legacy of Sherlock Holmes.
