In 1903, widow Charlotte DodsonÆs livelihood is threatened by sinister events that converge on the small Sussex village where she is housekeeper at a mysterious manor. At the center of a black conspiracy, the only man she can trust emerges as Sherlock Holmes. As the plot thickens: * credulous villagers whisper that a vampire is on the loose * a dangerous prisoner escapes from Dartmoor * the legendary jewel, Orb of Kezir, goes missing The story is told in the voice of a passionate young widow, with whom Sherlock Holmes falls in loveùas much as his cold, self-absorbed nature will allow him to love. She is an intellectual sparring partner for him, and his match in deduction; and excels in the domestic arts: she foils more than one villain using common household objects and toolsùmuch to the amazement of Scotland Yard and to the gratitude of Shelock Holmes, whose life she saves.Roberts, Lora is the author of 'Affair of the Incognito Tenant A Mystery With Sherlock Holmes' with ISBN 9781880284674 and ISBN 1880284677.
