Ten-year-old Christie Holmes, along with her companions Annmarie and Nora and her hound Nelson, joins her famous uncle, Sherlock Holmes, and Dr. John Watson in solving more mysteries, including the cases of a demon hound that is haunting a family and a London man who seems obsessed with smashing statues.

Ten-year-old Christie Holmes is not only rich and a child prodigy, but she is also the niece of the great detective Sherlock Holmes. Left mostly in the care of maids and servants, Christie and her giant hound Nelson solve mysteries, sometimes even lending her uncle and his friend Dr. Watson a hand.

Christie Holmes uncovers dark secrets from her maids' pasts and makes revelations about the Hope family while being confronted with her own future as a lady. Meanwhile, the ten-year-old sleuth must solve her greatest, and most deadly, mystery--before her parents come home from India.
