β¦ Synopsis
Two missing socialites. A smooth-talking swami. And a deadly organization, poised to strike again.
London, 1900. Former client Amy Thiel returns to Sherlock Holmesβbut she isnβt looking for more help. Amy has secretly fallen in love with Inspector Tobias Gregson, and she is determined to help investigate culprits who have wrongly disgraced him so they can be brought to justice.
Gregson, for his part, is also secretly in love with Amy, and cannot abide her subjecting herself to dangerβespecially on his behalf. Unfortunately for the Inspector, Holmes wastes no time putting Amy to work. After all, two wealthy, influential women have gone missing, and sheβs just the person to help find them.
Both women were associated with The Institute of the Western Dawn, a fashionable Bloomsbury enlightenment group run by a chic and charismatic guru. Amy agrees to pose as a new client to help with the investigation. Lucy goes along with her, and the rest of the Baker Street Team are poised and ready to assist.
The deeper the team wades into the murky world of the Western Dawn meditators, the darker the investigation becomes. As the familiar specter of an old enemy rises, no oneβnot even Holmes himselfβcan foresee all the perils that lie ahead. One wrong move, and innocent lives could be lost. Can they rescue the women and expose the enlightenment-loving ensemble? Or has the balance tipped too far in favor of the enemy?
