When milliner Adelaide Whitmore is found dead in her locked workroom on Regent Street, all evidence points to her business rival across the street. Miss Daventry-a Frenchwoman with knowledge of chemistry and a history of bitter feuding with the deceased-seems the obvious culprit. Inspector Lestrade is prepared to make an arrest.
But Sherlock Holmes sees what others miss: the peculiar modifications to the ventilation system, the curious brass mechanism by the window, the suspicious consultations with chemists and engineers in the weeks before Mrs. Whitmore's death. As Holmes probes deeper into the rivalry between the two milliners, he uncovers not a simple death, but an elaborate scheme of insidious brilliance-one that turned deadly in ways its architect never imagined.
A tale of obsession, rivalry, capitalism, and the fatal consequences of genius without conscience,
