The Consulting Detective Trilogy Part III: Montague Street
In late 1876 Sherlock Holmes returns to London to begin his career as a detective. Within weeks he solves the murder of the manager of a theatrical company and exposes corruption within Scotland Yard. However, he gets little credit for either and has difficulty attracting new clients. He spends his time improving his many skills and solving cases for the challenge.
In time clients come.
Follow Sherlock Holmes as he searches for the criminals behind the Turf Fraud, hunts down the Blackheath Burglar, finds the Opal Tiara, discovers the hidden meaning in the Musgrave Ritual, finds out the secret of the Aluminum Crutch, and stops the Giant Rat of Sumatra from reaching England. Plus many more cases before he meets his friend and biographer, Dr. John H. Watson.

Thank you Darlene, your long-awaited and epic finale to the Young Sherlock saga was far and away the finest chapter among all of them. A follow-up to the 'Gloria Scott' adventure set me off into a 21-chapter tour de force the finest spotlighting so many specific and treasured moments in Holmes lore that Sir Arthur could only touch upon. Meeting the blunt instrument Lestrade for the first time, a chance encounter with Wiggins creating the Baker Street Irregulars, the tragically touching origin of the ash monograph, and full details of the Giant Rat of Sumatra case only scratch the surface of what the next reader has to look forward to. I recommend all readers to read "The Crack In The Lens" and the other two installments of the Trilogy first, but this one nearly stands alone as a showcase of Sherlock's early career. I can only hope Ms. Cypser isn't done writing Holmes stories!
