Description

What happened to Sherlock Holmes in the three years Dr. Watson thought he was dead?

When Sherlock Holmes was at the peak of his success he disappeared, abruptly, for three years. Dr. Watson believed him to be dead. No one knows what happened to him in those years…until now.

Watson takes up his pen one last time to describe in a private memoir the true tale of Holmes' adventures during his three-year absence from Baker Street and provides a fictional explanation for many of the mysteries and inaccuracies found within the Sherlock Holmes collection of stories and novels.

The answers come in the shape of a woman – Elizabeth Sigerson. Elizabeth is independent, practical, a crack shot with a pistol and definitely not a woman of her time. Elizabeth is embroiled in Holmes' life just when Holmes scheme to expose Moriarty is culminating. She can more than hold her own against Holmes' abilities but she has a secret that Holmes is compelled to solve…

This one, yet another account of the Great Hiatus, when Holmes hid out from the infamous Moriarty, is better than most. Cooper-Posey attempts to account for the change in Watson/Conan Doyle's writing style once Holmes returns, and does a mighty good job. —The Globe and Mail

Cooper-Posey does a masterful job of recreating the style of Doyle in this vivid, exciting tale. —Romantic Times Magazine

Chronicles of the Lost Years is everything you expect from a Sherlock Holmes tale, twists and turns, brilliant reasoning, tenacious villains. I have been a Holmes fan for many years so I enjoyed this a great deal… a great deal of fun to read.—Cocktails and Books

Tracy Cooper-Posey is a 2024 Aurealis Award finalist for best SF Novella and the author of over 200 published titles that blend romance, suspense, science fiction, fantasy, and historical intrigue. She writes across multiple pen names—including Cameron Cooper (space opera) and Taylen Carver (fantasy, also an Aurealis finalist)—and has collected a long list of accolades, including the Emma Darcy Award, the SFR Galaxy Award, and fourth place in Hugh Howey's SPSFC#2.

An indie juggernaut and genre chameleon, Tracy has been publishing since 1999 and running her own one-woman fiction empire since 2011. Her stories range from sweeping sagas to bite-sized thrillers, and she's as comfortable writing tangled political intrigue as she is crafting a killer space opera saga. She's a strategist at heart—an INTJ with a sword-sharp mind and a whiteboard full of fictional worlds. A former magazine editor and romance writing instructor, she now writes full-time in Edmonton, Canada, where she lives with her husband and creative partner, Mark Posey.

She runs on Irish Breakfast tea, dark chocolate, and a fierce love of genre fiction—from Frank Herbert and Mary Stewart to Murderbot, MacLean, and McCaffery.

The treadmill continues to go unnoticed.
