Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Purloined Papers
Coming Sherlock Holmes and the Whitechapel Plot
The Admiralty's Dreadnought plans have been stolen. Holmes and Watson must retrieve them or British security will be gravely compromised.
It’s a winter’s day in 1905, when a knock on the door of 221B Baker Street brings two visitors. One is Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard. The other is Sir John “Jacky” Fisher, the First Lord of the Admiralty. As Fisher relates, the Admiralty has decided to build a new type of battleship called a Dreadnought, which will change naval warfare forever. However, there is only one copy of the plans and it has gone missing! Will Holmes and Watson assist in finding them? The fate of Great Britain herself could hang in the balance!
Initial interest focuses on a group of Russian Bolsheviks living in London. They meet a strong minded, rebellious woman who dwells in the Whitechapel immigrant slums. She captivates Watson, and also has important secrets to reveal. The three are swept into a whirlwind of international intrigue, which lands Holmes and Watson in Buckingham Palace and in Washington D.C., until an astonishing event leads them to an unimaginable conclusion!

This is a sharp, fun romp in the world of Sherlock Holmes. From the Whitehall to the White House, Watson and Sherlock meet the powerful and famous leaders of the era while unraveling complex puzzles. The result is a fascinating tour of the backrooms, politics, and intrigues of a bygone time (or is it right of today's headlines)
