Sherlock Holmes? Dr. Watson? Professor Moriarty? Famous actress Lillie Langtry? Oscar Wilde? Missing crown jewels? Blackmail?

In Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Jersey Lily, Holmes and Watson find themselves engaged to help the famous Jersey Lily, who is being blackmailed and may also have a missing crown jewel. She may also have attracted the attention of playwright Oscar Wilde and the infamous Professor Moriarty as well as the royal family. Can Holmes and Watson help Lillie? Or are they working against her to recover the lost jewel? Will they help Wilde write his next play? Or will Moriarty capture the jewel and blackmail the royals? All these questions are answered in Katie Forgette’s new addition to the annals of Sherlock Holmes!
