Publisher Description

Danger, Deception, and a Deadly Overture—A Mystery That Hits All the Right Notes!

Milan, 1899. On the glamorous stage of La Scala, Zoe Rosario—Lucy James's fearless mother—receives a secret blue envelope from a desperate colleague. His plea is chilling: deliver it to Sherlock Holmes. Within hours, he and his wife are murdered by the notorious Black Hand, forcing Zoe to flee for her life.

With mobsters on her heels, Zoe races to London. At the train station, she's intercepted—by Lucy and danger. Holmes and Lucy fend off the attackers for now, but the envelope's contents reveal a treasure so valuable the Black Hand will stop at nothing to claim it. As the stakes soar, the Baker Street team dives into action, each member playing their part in Holmes's daring plan.

But Zoe, ever independent, decides to take matters into her own hands. Disguising herself in the London Orchestra, she risks everything to uncover the truth behind the mystery. Yet the Black Hand is always one step ahead, and Zoe's undercover performance might just be her final act.
