When crime creeps into the drawing rooms of the elite, even Sherlock Holmes must tread carefully. In this new collection, Watson recounts cases where Holmes was drawn into the glittering — and treacherous — world of London’s high society. Behind every curtsey and champagne toast lies scandal, deception, and murder. From grand balls to fox hunts, country estates to gentlemen’s clubs, the great detective must navigate etiquette as deftly as evidence, with Watson as his ever-steady guide through a landscape of whispered threats and deadly secrets. A vanished viscount. A deadly masquerade. Forged love letters, fatal affairs, and “accidents” that aren’t accidental at all… The Society Papers delivers seven richly layered mysteries where status is power, and the truth is the most dangerous currency of all. Perfect for fans of classic Holmes with a twist of wit, intrigue, and high-society satire.
