London: November 1905.  England and the world are changing.  Into the rooms of Sherlock Holmes come Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison—with new inventions that will alter the course of human history—only both inventions have gone missing.   Can Holmes, Watson, and Irene Adler somehow unravel the latest diabolical scheme of Marie Chartier—evil daughter of the late Professor Moriarty?  Can world peace be achieved by the most powerful weapon ever created?  Can death itself be overcome by a scientific genius?  And can Sherlock Holmes survive the greatest personal loss of his career?

Sherlock in Love: The Holmes-Adler Mysteries

For Sherlock Holmes, Irene Adler was always the woman, but at the end of "A Scandal in Bohemia" Dr. Watson had pronounced her dead and gone. However, reports of her death were greatly exaggerated. Holmes and Miss Adler had fallen in love at first sight and she promptly moved in with Holmes and Watson at 221B Baker Street. In an effort to protect the delicate sensibilities of the British reading public, Watson explained her presence by referring to her as Mrs. Hudson, the housekeeper, even as Holmes and Adler combined forces to become a formidable detecting duo. In these three cases, they must overcome the evil schemes of the late Professor Moriarty's daughter—the wicked and brilliant Marie Chartier—whose only goal in life is to become the Napoleoness of Crime.
