London, 1897--Love is in the air! Lucy James, daughter of famed detective Sherlock Holmes, is finally poised to marry her sweetheart, Jack. But Lucy isn't the only one who's starry-eyed--Dr. Watson's attention has been captivated by a beautiful and alluring woman . . . who may not be at all what she seems.
It's not all romance and roses, however. In the midst of wedding-planning, Lucy, Holmes, and
Watson must take on a nefarious diamond-smuggling ring. And, just as they are making headway, a familiar evil puts all of London on edge.
A young woman is found dead, and her murder is reminiscent of those committed by Jack the
