Synopsis
Sherlock Holmes is dead. Apparently.
Jacky Huggins only wants to cheer up the recently-bereaved Dr Watson. But when she accompanies him on a secret investigation into a kidnapping, she doesn't expect to raise the dead.
Now Jacky is caught up in a cat-and-mouse game between an adversary who seems to hold all the cards and a detective who cannot come out of the shadows. And to make matters worse, Jacky is torn between her role as a wife and mother and the thrill of the chase...
Jacky longs to bring Sherlock Holmes back, but to do so she must find a way to help a man who won't be helped — and risk her own reputation in the process.
How can Jacky reconcile friendship with family? And is it worth the risk?
A Phoenix Rises is the third novella in the Sherlock & Jack series, set in 1890s London.
Liz Hedgecock grew up in London. After some years working for the NHS, she finally began her career as an author, winning several prizes for her writing. Liz's reimaginings of Sherlock Holmes, her Pippa Parker cozy mystery series, and the Caster & Fleet Victorian mystery series (with Paula Harmon) are available in eBook and paperback. Now living in Cheshire with her husband and two sons, she can usually be found reading, Tweeting or in museums and art galleries.
