Teen Fiction

It's present day London. A metropolitan police officer Sherwood Lachlan Holmes, average in every way, has been involved in a bomb blast while on duty. He wakes up in a psychiatric hospital some months later, but he isn't the same. His IQ has spiked to genius levels, his speech is distinctly Victorian and his vocabulary has impressively expanded. His attending psychiatrist, Dr. Jill Watson, notices through her examinations that his deductive powers of observation are unique and exemplary, though his arrogance and belittlement of the 'imbecilic' human race is difficult to tolerate.When a number of female bodies are discovered around London, with elaborate clues and notes left, Watson is called upon by Chief of Police, George Engel, in an attempt to explore the mind of this illusive murderer to find him before more lives are lost. Little does she know that her annoying patient, 'Lock', will be the key to solving the cat and mouse game and catch a killer whose intellect can only be matched by someone equally as impressive.
