1
Watson is dead. Holmes is alone. And Jack is desperate. Sixteen-year-old Jack Moreno is managing to hold his life together. Barely. After a terrible car accident leaves his father unable to work, Jack makes ends meet by dropping out of school and covering his dad's custodial shifts at a school for troubled teens, high in the Wasatch Mountains. Everything is going all right until the night Jack finds Sarah Watson—yes, descendant of that Watson—dead. When the icy but intriguing Holloway Holmes—yes, descendant of that Holmes—learns of Watson's death, he is determined to discover the killer on his own. But Jack and his father are the prime suspects in the official investigation, and Jack refuses to sit by and wait. In an uneasy alliance with Holmes, Jack must hurry to learn what really happened to Sarah Watson, which means facing down a Moriarty, unearthing secrets and blackmail, and trying to solve the other murder at the Walker School, one that happened more than twenty years before. Working together is the only way Jack and Holmes might find the killer before he catches up with them, but both boys are keeping secrets of their own—secrets that threaten the fragile trust they've managed to build between them.

Blackmail. Breakups. Boys. Trouble always comes in threes. Life is different for Jack Moreno. Good. Definitely good. Well, better, anyway. He's back in school (although classes are harder than he expected). And his dad is healthy (which means he's worrying again about things like Jack's curfew and, oh yeah, grades). And he's got a great girlfriend (who might, justifiably, be running out of patience with him). And Holloway Holmes is his friend (even though it's the kind of friendship that leaves Jack wanting more). So, life is good. Better. Definitely. Except when it comes to money. With his dad still struggling to pay a mountain of medical bills, Jack jumps at the opportunity to make some extra cash. After all, helping a fellow student deal with blackmail isn't exactly new—just a few months before, Jack handled a couple of blackmailers on campus. With the help of Holmes, of course. Only something is different this time. Something Jack can't put his finger on, something that makes him suspect the blackmail is just a cover for something much more serious. And when one of the blackmailers is murdered and Holmes becomes the prime suspect, Jack and Holmes will have to race to figure out what they've missed. Before it's too late for both of them.

Holmeses. Moriartys. Adlers. What's a Watson to do? When Jack Moreno receives an anonymous invitation to the Zodiac anniversary gala, he's inclined to ignore it. His best friend (and more), Holloway Holmes, vanished from his life five months ago, and Jack has no desire to bump into Holloway's terrifying father, Blackfriar. But included with the invitation is an offer Jack can't refuse: the promise that he'll learn what really happened to his mother. At the gala, an anonymous text sends Jack on a collision course with an amateur thief and, more importantly, with Holmes. Together, they must race to recover what the thief has stolen—information not only about Jack's mom, but about the Holmes family. Information that could bring down Blackfriar's empire. By the time they reach the thief, though, she's dead, and the stolen information is missing. To recover it, Jack and Holmes will have to learn who killed her. But other people, powerful people, are searching for the information too, and someone has already tried to kill Jack once. He'll need luck and quick thinking to stay alive. And, of course, he needs Holloway Holmes.
