Sherlock Holmes' Secret Mistress — India Millar

They say that behind every great man is a greater woman, and never is this more true than the passionate love affair between lovely young widow Nell Hudson and the world famous detective Sherlock Holmes.

Holmes´ adventures have a new twist in this tale; the feminine touch! But above all, this is Nell´s story. The extraordinary story of the ex- barmaid and music hall performer who was forced to take in Holmes' as her lodger at 221B Baker Street, when her con man husband was murdered by Holmes' greatest enemy, Moriarty. The woman whom Holmes intended to use as bait, and instead fell in love with.

The story that goes behind the adventures of Sherlock Holmes, and reveals the real man. And his woman. The story that tells of the physical and emotional passion they found together.

And this is the reality of Victorian London. The truth behind 19th century society, from the highest to the low. If you thought you knew the Victorians, then prepare for some truly amazing revelations.

Sit down, make yourself comfortable and prepare to spend a few hours in the company of toshers and toffs, broadsman and bunters, Lions Comique and ladybirds, Donah's and dollymops.

And of course, Nell Hudson and Sherlock Holmes.
