Description

Mrs. Hudson For The Defense (Mrs. Hudson of Baker Street Book 8)

“You’re needed, Mr. Holmes. I’m to bring you to Inspector Lestrade. Dr. Watson has been accused of murder.” The words from Thomas Wiggins, now a junior printer, formerly the leader of the Baker Street Irregulars, rouse Holmes. He leaves the company of bees outside his cottage in Sussex Downs to return to London and save his friend and colleague from the gallows. To his surprise, he will have the recently retired Detective Inspector Lestrade as an important ally. Unsurprisingly, his former landlady and mentor, Mrs. Hudson, the true sage of Baker Street will join him. Holmes first must have her released from custody as they jailed her for demonstrating on behalf of votes for women. Besides, not only has Watson been wrongfully accused, so have two prominent suffragettes Mrs. Hudson encountered in the course of her own arrest. It is up to Mrs. Hudson to guide the exoneration of all the innocent parties. In the process she and Holmes will find it necessary to outmaneuver both Scotland Yard and London’s own fledgling version of the Mafia. All this drama and more in Mrs. Hudson for the Defense.
