A long-buried secret. A stolen portrait. The artist’s murder. Can Sherlock discover the connection between the three before he’s stopped permanently?

Sherlock can’t shake his apprehension about a family trip to Paris. His mother’s unflappable confidence vanished months ago, and her anxiety has set the whole family on edge. His greatest fears are realized when they witness the death of one of Mrs. Holmes’ former suitors.

As Sherlock seeks to unravel the reason behind the artist’s murder, he unearths a long-buried secret about his mother and survives several attempts to keep him from getting to the truth.

What did you like best about writing this series?

Now that I know the characters, I find writing about them like chatting with old friends. I also enjoy creating a history for Holmes because little is known about the original character.

What other books (not in this series, have you written?)

I have a series of non-fiction books, The Life and Times of Sherlock Holmes, that explores different aspects of Victorian England mentioned in the original tales. I also have a thriller, Saving Hope, about early post-Soviet Russia.
