"It's a lovely day in 1930s London, right up until a giant stone lion comes to life and starts wrecking the city! It seems like the perfect case for the world's most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes. Of course, Sherlock Holmes doesn't actually exist; he is a fictional character created by Mrs. Hudson, who has been the real Baker Street detective all along, writing Holmes' adventures under the pen name of John Watson and running around the city in disguise. With an overwhelmed caseload she'll need the help of a precocious bunch of young detectives-in-training to solve the mystery of the living statues."--Provided by publisher.

"An anonymous telegram brings strange news to Baker Street; there is an impostor Sherlock Holmes at work in New York City, solving cases and taking society by storm. The real Sherlock Holmes, fresh from an undercover mission for his enigmatic brother Mycroft, wastes no time in crossing the Atlantic to confront the charlatan. But he and Watson find more than they bargained for: the counterfeit Sherlock is nowhere to be found and his clients are none too keen on revealing their secrets...".

"The discovery of a corpse on a deserted beach is just the first in a series of mysterious and terrifying events that threatened Sherlock Holmes. While investigating the death, Holmes and Watson attract unwanted attention from the strange inhabitants of the nearby village, and are viciously attacked"--Back cover.
