Those of you who are aware of my distinguished career as the world’s first Private Consulting Detective can hardly remain unaware of the sensational way in which another Holmes of similar ilk, my much younger sister, Enola, has lately burst upon the London scene. This latest novel continues the chronicle of this capable, ingenious, and fiercely independent young woman. Cuando la señorita Letitia Glover acude a Sherlock para pedirle que averigüe qué ocurrió con su hermana gemela, Enola es quien la recibe. Enola must risk her own freedom and join forces with her brother, the famed Sherlock Holmes, to free Cecily. Enola is thrown into a tailspin when she receives a desperate message from her old friend, Lady Cecily.

The only way forward is for Enola to go undercover—or so Enola decides at the vehement objection of her brother. Mientras sigue las pistas que pueden conducirla a su paradero, Enola descubre que su hermano Sherlock la busca a ella porque necesita su ayuda y, juntos, deberán resolver un gran misterio: ¿qué le ha ocurrido a su madre?But Letitia Glover is convinced this isn't the truth, that she'd know—she'd feel—if her twin had died. Even though this is the seventh book in the series, Springer gives you enough informative background that by the time the story is in full swing you have fallen in love with the rebellious Enola and her suffragette ways.

This seventh book in this series, finds Enola working on the case of Letitia Glover, who believes her twin didn’t die as claimed by her husband.La joven dama está siendo retenida en un espantoso orfanato y Enola debe rescatarla, ¡o la obligarán a casarse a la fuerza!
