Baker Street Letters

In Los Angeles, a geological surveyor maps out a proposed subway route-and then goes missing. His eight-year-old daughter, in her desperation, turns to the one person she thinks might help-she writes a letter to Sherlock Holmes. Reggie and Nigel Heath are relatively close in age but worlds apart in personality. The older of the two brothers, Reggie is a successful attorney with charisma to spare, but Nigel has always struggled to step out of his shadow. When Reggie leases space in an office building on London's Baker Street, he finds that the paperwork comes with an odd stipulation: his firm must receive and respond with a standard reply to letters sent to Sherlock Holmes, who had occupied the same famous address. When Nigel, newly suspended from practicing law and relegated to clerk duties, becomes intrigued by one of the "Dear Sherlock" notes, he disappears quite suddenly, leaving a dead body in his wake-and Reggie must hop the next flight to Los Angeles to uncover the truth. Hot on his heels is his sometime lover, Laura, a quick-witted stage actress who's captured the hearts of both brothers.

When brothers Reggie and Nigel Heath chose 221B Baker Street as the location for their law office, they didn't expect that their new office space would come with one huge stipulation-answering the letters sent to Sherlock Holmes, the most famous resident of that address. The first Sherlock Holmes letter barrister Reggie Heath answered cost him most of his personal fortune, all of his Baker Street chambers clients, and quite possibly Laura Rankin, the love of his life. But Reggie intends to earn all of it-the money, the career, and the love-back again. His latest client is the driver of one of London's famous black cabs, accused of murdering two American tourists. But while Reggie is working on that case, the letters to Sherlock Holmes are piling up-including one from someone who claims to be the descendant of Professor James Moriarty. With a case that would have puzzled even Sherlock himself and a pair of brother sleuths more different than night and day, The Brothers of Baker Street is sure to please mystery fans whatever their address.
