Sherlock Holmes and the Darjeeling Diamonds
(2026)(A book in the New Sherlock Holmes Mystery series)
A novel by Craig Stephen Copland
The Adventure of the Darjeeling Diamonds
When one of Sherlock Holmes's youngest Irregulars is found shot dead behind Hatton Garden, London's diamond district, Holmes is plunged into the darkest case of his career—and the guilt of having sent a child to his death.
The boy, known only as "Sahib" to the other street urchins, turns out to be no urchin at all: he is Rajiv Tamang, heir to a wealthy Anglo-Indian tea family, who begged to join the Irregulars for one unforgettable summer. As the press brands Holmes a reckless amateur with blood on his hands, he and Watson must untangle two crimes at once—a diamond heist with a shocking espionage twist, and a twenty-year blood feud between rival Darjeeling tea dynasties that has already claimed far more lives than anyone in London realizes.
From the rooftops of Hatton Garden to the halls of Oxford, Holmes races to prevent a killing more devastating than the last, using every ounce of his deductive brilliance—and an unconventional solution that only he could devise.
Rich with period detail, genuine Victorian history, and a genuinely moving portrait of grief and redemption, The Adventure of the Darjeeling Diamonds is a compelling addition to the New Sherlock Holmes Mysteries series—proof that even the world's greatest detective can be undone by a case that strikes too close to the heart.
