On a fine October afternoon in 1882, Rose Donnelly, maid-of-all-work, disguises herself as a boy in order to follow the callow, yet brilliantly determined Sherlock Holmes in his pursuit of a thief.
Through narrow alleyways and cobbled lanes wedged between Whitechapel, Bethnal Green and the broad back of the City, she’s led into deeper territory — worlds he knows well. So well, in fact, that he nearly has her collared on her first time out.
Still, Rose learns he has a bolt hole somewhere in Spitalfields. He speaks a smattering of Yiddish. He has a talent for picking pockets. He’s a genius with the deceptively simple disguise.
It’s a thrilling start. It’s for her doctoral thesis. Or so she believes.
This is the fifth and last original Faction Paradox novel published by Mad Norwegian Press.
