The Sherlock Holmes and Lucy James Mysteries

Sherlock Holmes is alive. And he has a secret partner...

After his "death" at Reichenbach Falls, Sherlock Holmes returned to London with a mystery even Watson didn't know—and a brilliant new ally the world has never met. Her name is Lucy James, and discovering who she is, and why Holmes trusts her with cases he shares with no one else, is just the beginning.

From the gaslit streets of Victorian London to the dawn of the twentieth century, join Holmes, Watson, Lestrade, and the unforgettable Lucy as they face international conspiracies, stolen submarines, time machines, and threats that could topple nations. With the resourceful young Becky and street-smart Flynn—one of Holmes' own Irregulars—adding their own brand of clever chaos, no mystery is too dangerous and no villain too cunning.

36 adventures of masterful mystery and historical intrigue, written with the authentic voice of Conan Doyle's originals. Co-authors Charles Veley and Anna Elliott weave real historical figures seamlessly into cases brimming with espionage, murder, and adventure. Each book features multiple perspectives, meticulous period detail, and the satisfying deduction you crave—plus Historical Notes that bring the era vividly to life.

For fans of Sherlock Holmes who thought they'd read every case worth solving... think again.
