In December 1893, Sherlock Holmes-adoring Londoners eagerly
opened their Strand magazines, anticipating the detective’s next
adventure, only to find the unthinkable: his creator, Arthur Conan
Doyle, had killed their hero off. London spiraled into mourning —
crowds sported black armbands in grief — and railed against Conan
Doyle as his assassin.
Then in 1901, just as abruptly as Conan Doyle had “murdered”
Holmes in “The Final Problem,” he resurrected him. Though the
writer kept detailed diaries of his days and work, Conan Doyle
never explained this sudden change of heart. After his death, one
of his journals from the interim period was discovered to be
missing, and in the decades since, has never been found.
Or has it?
When literary researcher Harold White is inducted into the
preeminent Sherlock Holmes enthusiast society, The Baker Street
Irregulars, he never imagines he’s about to be thrust onto the hunt
for the holy grail of Holmes-ophiles: the missing diary. But when
the world’s leading Doylean scholar is found murdered in his hotel
room, it is Harold – using wisdom and methods gleaned from
countless detective stories – who takes up the search, both for the
diary and for the killer.
