(3) YA Set in a gritty, unnamed English city, this murder-mystery (first in a projected series) posits a modern-day Sherlock Holmes: a brilliant but chronically underachieving biracial teen named Garvie Smith. He teams up with a reluctant Inspector Singh to solve the murder of Garvie's ex-girlfriend. The suspenseful pacing and tantalizing accumulation of clues will keep readers turning pages; the identity of the killer comes as a surprise.
