When the Keeper of the Jewel House at the Tower of London discovers the rare 14th century King’s Diamond missing from the Crown’s collection, the Queen’s Private Secretary, Colonel Alexander Crowhurst, calls Inspector Gregson in to recover the jewel. After a week with no leads, Queen Victoria privately commissions Sherlock Holmes to locate it, against the advice of her government. Holmes and Watson recognise that lost time has put them at a disadvantage, and now the great detective must bring his entire arsenal of skills to bear against a sinister foe whose own plans hinge upon preventing Holmes from returning the precious gem.

Christopher is a Reader's Favorite award winning author and Star Trek Feature Writer. Described by New York Times Bestseller Michael Jan Friedman as "an up-and-coming fantasy voice", and compared to Roger Zelazny's best work, Abbott's Songs of the Osirian series of works brings a bold re-telling of Ancient Egyptian mythology. Abbott presents a fresh view of deities we know, such as Horus, Osiris, and Anubis. He weaves the godlike magic through musical poetry, giving these wonderfully tragic and deeply flawed "gods" different perspective, all the while increasing their mysteriousness. His Sherlock Holmes stories, published in the Watson Chronicles Series, have been recognised by readers and peers alike as faithfully authentic to the original Conan Doyle. In 2022, after publishing seven individual Watson Chronicle stories, Christopher teamed up with prolific authors Michael Jan Friedman and Aaron Rosenberg to add a collection of Holmes short stories to the series. Christopher has published with Crazy8Press and written for major media outlets, including ScreenRant.
