An original Sherlock Holmes short story from the *New York Times* bestselling author of *The House of Silk* and *Moriarty*—one of the only writers to earn the seal of approval from Conan Doyle’s estate.

In this e-original short story, Sherlock Holmes and James Watson come together once again to uncover the motive behind a robbery gone awry. When an elderly man shoots an intruder he finds in his home, it seems like a clear case of self defense. What’s not so clear is why the robber was there. His bag contains no silver or jewelry­—only three crude ceramic figurines of Queen Victoria which were mass-produced for her Golden Jubilee. When two of the figurines are traced to other houses on the same street, it’s Sherlock Holmes who sees the key to unlock the mystery.

*Three Monarchs* includes a preview chapter from *Moriarty.*
