Lady Holmes and Mrs Hudson return in this cosy sapphic historical mystery which reimagines the Sherlock universe.

''Please, Inspector, we never let our sensibilities stand in the way of facts'.

Katy Hudson and Lady Violet Holmes are settling into life at Musgrave Hall: solving crimes, bickering over every clue, and avoiding the feelings neither wants to name.

But when a stranger arrives with a warning for Katy, they are thrust into a deadly conspiracy. Soon Katy's brother is abducted, and a man bearing her dead husband's face appears in London. Following a trail of ciphers, impostors and betrayal, Katy and Violet uncover a secret that leads them back to the heart of Musgrave Hall.

To stop a ruthless criminal league, Katy must decide who she trusts, what she's willing to risk, and which future she's prepared to fight for.
