   Gemma Doyle, una donna inglese trapiantata, è tornata nella pittoresca cittadina di West London a Cape Cod per gestire la libreria e emporio di Sherlock Holmes del suo prozio Arthur. Il negozio, situato al 222 di Baker Street, è specializzato nel canone di Holmes e nei pastiche ed è anche la casa di Moriarty, il gatto. Quando Gemma trova una rivista rara e potenzialmente preziosa contenente la prima storia di Sherlock Holmes nascosta nella libreria, lei e la sua amica Jayne (che gestisce il vicino Mrs. Hudson's Tea Room) si mettono in cerca del proprietario, solo per imbattersi in un cadavere. La perspicace Gemma è il primo sospettato della polizia, quindi mette a frutto le sue straordinarie capacità di deduzione per scagionarsi, indagando su un affascinante esperto di libri rari, il sospettoso figlio della donna morta e un'intera famiglia di personaggi avidi desiderosi di incassare la loro eredità. Ma quando Gemma e Jayne si trovano accidentalmente in una seconda scena del delitto, è una corsa per scoprire la verità prima che i detective le arrestino definitivamente.

   Gemma and Jayne dedicate their time to raise funds for a burned museum, but a killer disrupts their auction in this fourth installment of the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop mystery series. One night, while walking her dog Violet, Gemma Doyle discovers smoke outside the West London Museum. Although no one is inside, the museum’s priceless collection is lost to the flames. In response, local shop owners organize an auction tea to support the rebuilding efforts, featuring a signed first edition of The Valley of Fear. As guests gather at Mrs. Hudson’s Tea Room, owned by Gemma’s best friend, Jayne, excitement fills the air. However, the event takes a dark turn when museum board chair Kathy Lamb is found dead, strangled with a decorative rope of knotted tea cups—an item sold by Jayne. Gemma’s boyfriend, Ryan Ashburton, and Detective Louise Estrada arrive to investigate, but the list of suspects is extensive. As Gemma is reluctantly pulled into the case, she learns that Kathy’s murder may be linked to a mysterious death from seven years prior. With fellow shopkeeper Maureen accused, Gemma’s deductive skills become crucial in unraveling the mystery, despite Ryan’s concerns about her involvement.

Henry, a retired detective with Scotland Yard, has been keeping tabs on the man's career as a forger of Old Masters and he warns Randy to stay away from his family. It's up to Gemma, with the help of her friends, to plunge into the "lowest and vilest alleys" of London to save her father from prison.
