Author Description

Sherlock Holmes is dead. Apparently. Jacky Huggins only wants to cheer up the recently-bereaved Dr Watson. But when she accompanies him on a secret investigation into a kidnapping, she doesn't expect to raise the dead. Now Jacky is caught up in a cat-and-mouse game between an adversary who seems to hold all the cards and a detective who cannot come out of the shadows. And to make matters worse, Jacky is torn between her role as a wife and mother and the thrill of the chase... Jacky longs to bring Sherlock Holmes back, but to do so she must find a way to help a man who won't be helped -- and risk her own reputation in the process. How can Jacky reconcile friendship with family? And is it worth the risk? A Phoenix Rises is the third novella in the Sherlock & Jack series, set in 1890s London.
