Publisher Description

Witnesses, wagers, and a whisked-away husband—Holmes and Lucy face a killer's ultimatum!

Lady Constance's testimony could put a murderer behind bars—but first, she has to survive long enough to take the stand. After a near-miss with a sharpshooter's bullet, Sherlock Holmes and Lucy James devise a daring plan to keep her safe: an elaborate decoy operation featuring glittering carriages, a lavish hotel suite, and enough flair to send the killer's gang on a wild goose chase.

But the gang strikes back with a bold move of their own—they kidnap Lucy's husband, Jack Kelly. Their chilling demand? Hand over Lady Constance, or Jack will pay the ultimate price.

Now the Baker Street team must juggle subterfuge and a high-stakes rescue mission as the clock ticks down. With Lady Constance losing her nerve and danger closing in from all sides, can Holmes and Lucy outwit the gang, save Jack, and bring the murderer to justice? Or will this deadly game of cat and mouse end in disaster?

Perfect for fans of Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, and fast-paced Victorian adventures, The Solitary Witness is a dazzling tale packed with danger, clever twists, and daring disguises.
