A thrilling spin on the classic Sherlock Holmes murder mystery…

Thelonius (Theo) Holmes is a private investigator and a direct descendant of Sherlock Holmes. When eerily similar homicides by euthanasia pop up in both San Diego and Las Vegas, Holmes is called in by the San Diego and Vegas police departments to help.

Working with the cutting-edge and beautiful AI robot named P.A.M. and his recently hired assistant, Delaney Watson, Holmes and his team realizes they are faced with contradictory evidence. While DNA suggests one serial killer murdering the homeless in both cities, eye witnesses suggest two killers.

The contradictory evidence doesn’t end there. Bizarre connections to Elvis Presley and the beautiful song that pays homage to his life—Black Velvet—appear in the investigations, as well.

What connection does this have to the murder sprees afoot? Who is behind the killings in San Diego and Vegas? Can Theo, Delaney, P.A.M. and the police detectives uncover the truth in time to save the homeless in both cities?

Black Velvet is a contemporary murder mystery perfect for fans of police procedurals and forensic thrillers. Filled with unique characters, forensic and AI science, and engaging plot twists, this is a great addition to any bookshelf. Grab a copy today!
