It's the Good Friday of 1903, and Sherlock Holmes' landlady, Mrs Hudson, is worried. Her illustrious lodger had promised to escort her to the railway station for her annual Easter visit to family in the North, but he hasn't returned from a case. Hasn't telegraphed, hasn't anything. She enlists Dr. Watson to find his old friend, but nobody seems to know his whereabouts...Thus begins The Case of the Disappearing Detective, a short, sweet holiday mystery from the author of One Must Tell the Bees: Abraham Lincoln and the Final Education of Sherlock Holmes (East Dean Press, 2021).
