The She-Wolf of Baker Street
註釋Audrey Hudson takes the lead in this contemporary, paranormal take on the residents of Baker Street, London that encompasses mystery, murder and many of the fey inhabitants of this sceptred (or should that be Spectered) isle. Audrey has been a werewolf all her adult life, but after the terrible and unsolved slaughter of her found family pack in Edinburgh, she withdraws to a home in London she abandoned long ago. There, the unpleasant Adelbert Gruner, a collector of cryptid artefacts, kidnaps her, intent on keeping her prisoner and to film her full moon transformation. But at 63, Audrey Hudson has learned a few tricks - and, as luck would have it, a young detective named Sherlock Holmes has taken an interest in Gruner. Holmes may not know about werewolves, ghosts or things that go bump in the night, but he might be just who Audrey needs to find out who killed her family. She offers the socially awkward genius a room in her house on Baker Street, provided he can find someone to share the costs.Enter John Watson and his best friend Nicola "Nick" Murray - who have had their own cryptid encounters which will come to have a significant bearing on the inhabitants of 221B. But momentum is added to the case as Sherlock's investigations suggest a much bigger mystery is at play, involving a disturbing case on Dartmoor with a Greek interpreter; Sherlock's agoraphobic sister, Myca; Audrey's long-dead love, Ruby Stockton; and the fate of Great Britain's mystic heart. Will Sherlock Holmes be able to unlock the crimes and mysteries that have haunted Audrey's life - and can he even come close if he doesn't know cryptids are real? And can Audrey protect her new pack, or is she about to lose those she loves once again to these unknown enemies?
