The Chess Queen Enigma
“Holmes Is Pressed into Service After Miss Stoker brought me home from our meeting with Miss Adler, I spent the rest of the day, and well into the night, closeted in my laboratory.
It was either that or sulk in my bedchamber, and a Holmes doesn’t sulk.
Even when she gets terminated from a case.
Even when she shames herself in front of a member of the Royal Family.
Even when she realizes both of her parents prefer to be anywhere but in her vicinity.
But I wasn’t the only one with failures.
So whe...n I woke up the next morning slumped over my desk in the laboratory, surrounded by samples of coffee grounds, it was with new resolve.
I might no longer be wanted or needed by the Crown, but there were other puzzles and unsolved crimes to which I could turn my attention—such as the case of Mr. Oligary’s partner’s death. And in the meantime, no one could keep me from building a case against Lady Cosgrove-Pitt as the Ankh.
I dashed off a note to Uncle Sherlock asking for his assistance, as well as a copy to Dr.MoreLess
