Just in time for Sherlock Holmes's 166th birthday, the fifth
installment in national bestselling author Vicki Delany's Sherlock
Holmes Bookshop mystery takes Sherlockania to the max with a Holmes
convention and historic 221 Baker Street.
Gemma Doyle and her friends travel to London for a Sherlock Holmes
convention--but will Gemma's father take the fall for a felonious
forger's fatality?
The 6th of January is Sherlock Holmes's birthday, and lucky for Gemma
Doyle, January is also the slowest time of the year at both the Sherlock
Holmes Bookshop and Emporium, and Mrs. Hudson's Tea Room. It's a good
time for Gemma and her friends to travel to England for a Holmes
Convention. For Gemma, the trip provides an opportunity to visit her
parents, Jayne Wilson is excited about seeing all the sites London has
to offer, and Ryan Ashburton just wants to spend some time with Gemma.
But the trip is immediately derailed when Gemma's father Henry
recognizes his brother-in-law Randolph Denhaugh, who disappeared more
than thirty years ago on the night he stole a valuable painting from his
own parents.
Henry, a retired detective with Scotland Yard, has been keeping tabs on
the man's career as a forger of Old Masters and he warns Randy to stay
away from his family. It's up to Gemma, with the help of her friends, to
plunge into the lowest and vilest alleys of London to save her father
from prison.
