Erasing Sherlock

by Kelly Hale, Virtual Voice (Narrator)

“Seeking maid-of-all-work. Master of Arts required. Unique opportunity for research in the field. Intensive training provided. One to two year commitment necessary. Must be willing to travel in time.” A 21st century doctoral candidate takes on the guise of a maid-of-all-work in 19th century London in order to observe the great detective in his natural habitat, when he was young and callow and still fine tuning those remarkable skills. It's a unique opportunity for research in the field, no denying, but bestowed by a benefactor who has sold his soul for a technology that only works if the devil he sold it to is sufficiently entertained. The life of Sherlock Holmes is unraveling, being rewritten in both subtle and monumental ways. The maid must become the master if either of them are to survive. Because the devil loves a spectacle. The more blood, the better.
