In May of 1890, Enola Holmes is finally fully on her own
and, no longer hiding from her older brothers Sherlock and
Mycroft, attending classes and occasionally pursuing her
chosen profession as a scientific perditorian, a finder of
lost things and people.
Wolcott Balestier, the
representative of an American book publisher, arrived in
London on a singular mission - to contract with English
authors for their latest works. When Balestier disappears on
the streets of London one day, his great friend - Rudyard
Kipling - bursts into Enola's office looking for help in
finding him. Brash and unwilling to hire a young woman,
instead he turns to Sherlock Holmes. Convinced that evil has
befallen Balestier, at the hands of rival American
publishers who pirate the works of English authors, he sets
the elder Holmes on the trail.
But Enola is not
one to accept defeat, especially not to her brother, and
sets off on her own - determined to learn the truth behind
the disappearance of the young American. Can book publishing
truly be so ruthless and deadly or can the missing man be
rescued from his apparent fate and returned to his friends
and loved ones?
The redoubtable Enola is
determined to do just that, even if it means working with
her brother Sherlock!
