The Case of the Displaced Detective: The Arrival is a mystery/sci-fi novel with none other than Sherlock Holmes himself, in an alternate reality in which he is a real person and his adventures, literal. Our cadres are scientists and technicians at Schriever Air Force Base in Colorado Springs in a wormhole-type program, Project: Tesseract, which can span the multiverse, observing, and even able to interact with alternate realities, although the latter is verboten.
Unfortunately, during the climactic battle between Holmes and Professor Moriarty at the Reichenbach Falls (in that reality, both men die), the chief scientist, Dr. Skye Chadwick, brilliant hyperspatial dynamicist, responds in a “knee jerk” reaction, rescuing Holmes, who falls through the wormhole into our modern reality, and now cannot be sent back without dying. He logically chooses to stay in the present day and live. Chadwick is assigned as Holmes’ liaison to bring him up to speed on modern life. This learning curve proceeds apace, and the two become close friends. Soon Chadwick essentially becomes Holmes’ replacement for Watson, Mrs. Hudson, and Mycroft Holmes, in one person.
With this unbeatable duo the plot thickens, twists and turns are navigated, and literary and reality worlds collide making this a must-read for anyone who enjoys mysteries, sleuthing, and, of course, Sherlock Holmes.
