The first book in a witty, thrilling new trilogy about a brilliant new crime-solving duo: the youthful descendants of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. This clever page-turner will appeal to fans of Maureen Johnson and Ally Carter. Jamie Watson has always been fascinated by Charlotte Holmes; after all, their great-great-great-grandfathers are one of the most notorious pairs in history. However, the Holmes family has always been peculiar, and Charlotte is no exception. She has inherited Sherlock's unpredictability and some of his vices – and when Jamie and Charlotte end up at the same boarding school in Connecticut, Charlotte makes it clear that she is not looking for friends. But when a student with whom they both have a history dies under suspicious circumstances, straight out of the eeriest Sherlock Holmes stories, Jamie can no longer afford to keep his distance. The danger is rising, and nowhere is safe.
