The Janet Watson Chronicles 1

Set in a near future Washington, D.C., a clever, incisive, and fresh feminist twist on a classic literary icon - Sherlock Holmes - in which Dr. Janet Watson and covert agent Sara Holmes will use espionage, advanced technology, and the power of deduction to unmask a murderer targeting Civil War veterans. 

Dr. Janet Watson knows firsthand the horrifying cost of a divided nation. While treating broken soldiers in the battlefields of the New Civil War, a sniper's bullet shattered her arm and ended her career. Honorably discharged and struggling with semi-functional mechanical arm that replaced the limb she lost, she returns to the nation's capital, a bleak, edgy in that throes of a fraught presidential election. Homeless and jobless, Watson is uncertain of the future when she meets another black and queer woman, Sara Holmes, a mysterious yet playful challenging covert agent who offers the doctor a place to stay. 

Watson readjustment to civilian life is complicated by the infuriating antics of her strange new roommate. But the tension between them dissolve when Watson dicovers the soldiers from the New Civil War have begun dying one by one -  and the deaths may be that tip of something far more dangerous, involving the pharmaceutical industry and even the looming election. Joining forces, Watson and Holmes embark on a thrilling investigation to solve the mystery - and secure justice for these fallen soldiers.
