Amy Thiel, Holmes's brilliant ally and Gregson's beloved, has been kidnapped and swept into a sinister scheme. Though unaware of the full plot, Amy smuggles a desperate message to Holmes and Lucy—but when it's intercepted, the Baker Street team is left scrambling for clues. A chance remark overheard weeks earlier by Becky sparks their first lead.
With royalty in attendance, Holmes and Lucy suspect a nefarious plot targeting England's most prestigious racecourse. As the glamorous pre-race festivities kick off, Holmes and Watson push reluctant officials to tighten security while Lucy, Flynn, and Becky scour the grounds. A cryptic tip from a streetwise pickpocket sends them in the right direction—until tragedy strikes, forcing the team into a frantic race against time.
Meanwhile, Amy awakens to discover she's a pawn in a plot that could turn a day of grandeur and glory into chaos and catastrophe. Can Holmes and his team outpace the villains and stop disaster before the final race is run?
Perfect for fans of Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, and Lee Child, Holmes Picks a Winner is a thrilling Derby Day spectacle packed with twists, danger, and dazzling deduction.
