The Boy Sherlock Holmes - Shane Peacock

The Boy Sherlock Holmes mysteries for young adults features the famous consulting detective as a young boy in 1860s London.

Eye of the Crow: The Boy Sherlock Holmes, His First Case

The first, and until now, untold adventure of the world’s  greatest detective, set in the frightening streets of Victorian London in 1867.  A woman is brutally murdered in a dark alley in the foggy East End of the city,  and no one sees the crime … except two crows. From that evidence, the  boy Sherlock finds the villain, and his famous career begins.

Death in the Air: The Boy Sherlock Holmes, His Second Case

“Death in the Air,” the sequel to the critically acclaimed “Eye of the Crow,” opens with a bang, as the star of The Flying Mercures  plunges more than 100 feet from the glass ceiling of the Crystal Palace and lands in a gruesome heap near young Sherlock Holmes’ feet. Instantly, the boy notices two cuts in the trapeze bar, and from that moment is caught up in a mystifying crime that will take him on a twisting trail into the dark heart of London. The irresistible Irene Doyle, shadowy Malefactor, and strange old Sigerson Bell all play their parts, as Sherlock pursues  one of the most vicious and elusive gangs ever to haunt the city. But as he struggles to succeed, danger surrounding him, he must also fight the darkness within himself.

Vanishing Girl: The Boy Sherlock Holmes, His Third Case

Following on the heels of the best-selling and critically-acclaimed first two novels in the Boy Sherlock Holmes series (Eye of the Crow and Death in the Air) comes this twisting, maze-like tale of the spectacular daylight kidnapping of Victoria Rathbone, the 14-year-old daughter of a prominent Conservative politician. She is taken in Hyde Park in the very centre of London, and vanishes. At first, a strange silence reigns: there is no ransom note, nothing from the culprits, the trail is cold, bereft of a single clue. But young Sherlock Holmes, now nearing his own 14th birthday, spots evidence that no one else sees. Within a day, he is outside haunted Grimwood Hall north of London near the little town of St. Neots, gazing across a grounds booby-trapped by a frightening maze and exotic beasts, believing that the girl is being held in an upper chamber. But how can he get to her? And are his deductions correct? Is she really there? This, it turns out, is just the beginning of the remarkable case of the Vanishing Girl.

The Secret Fiend: The Boy Sherlock Holmes, His Fourth Case

The Secret Fiend, sequel to the highly acclaimed Vanishing Girl: The Boy Sherlock Holmes, His 3rd Case, and the fourth book in the award-winning series, advances young Holmes’ story in many dramatic and surprising ways. It begins with a late-night knock on the door of Sigerson Bell’s apothecary shop in central London, where Sherlock lives and works. Beatrice Leckie, the boy’s childhood companion and admirer is terrified, claiming that she and a friend have just been assaulted by a horrible fiend, The Spring Heeled Jack. The only problem is that the Jack, as far as Sherlock and everyone else in London knows, is a fictional super-villain. But as the weeks pass, as political and social unrest come to the city streets, spearheaded by radicals and those who hate the new (Jewish) Prime Minister of the Empire, Benjamin Disraeli, the Spring Heeled Jack becomes very real indeed … and somehow connected to the revolt, the chaos, that is about to turn England upside down. Soon there seem to be Jacks everywhere, all growing more violent, and Sherlock begins to suspect everyone … even his closest friends. A “secret fiend’ appears to be lurking everywhere, until, in a dramatic concluding chapter, he finds answers.

The Dragon Turn: The Boy Sherlock Holmes, His Fifth Case

The Dragon Turn, the fifth novel in the highly acclaimed, award-winning Boy Sherlock Holmes series, like the other books, advances young Holmes’ story in many dramatic and surprising ways. It begins with Sherlock and Irene Doyle attending a magician’s show at the Egyptian Hall in famous Piccadilly Street in London. To their astonishment, His Highness Hemsworth makes a dragon appear on the stage! The city is enthralled by it, debating whether or not the creature is real. But moments after the show, this same magician is accused of the murder of his rival, The Wizard of Nottingham, not only Hemsworth’s great rival, but the man who stole his wife. It is a sensational celebrity story, devoured by London’s many newspapers. Sherlock, wanting to stay out of dangerous criminal investigations until he is older, is persuaded by Irene, whose singing career stands to benefit from Hemsworth’s help, to prove that the magician is innocent. Reluctantly, Sherlock begins to investigate. But what he finds stuns him and those who support and oppose him: Irene, his weird mentor Sigerson Bell, the Lestrades, and his friend Beatrice Leckie. Nottingham’s remains, just bits of his flesh and blood, had been found in what was assumed to be Hemsworth’s underground workshop. But is it really his? And if not, who killed the famous magician? What fiendish method was used? Sherlock finds himself racing through a world of subterranean chambers, along spooky twists and turns, baffled and amazed by illusions, until he gets to The Dragon Turn’s shocking conclusion. One thought keeps running through his mind. Could the dragon be real?
