A quiet street... A mysterious man... An old secret...After a harsh winter, 1947 has settled on Baker Street. Irene Holmes is restless and determined to find a case, no matter how big or small. When Joe Watson's girlfriend, Sarah, moves into a new house with her friends, and a man is seen walking up and down the street, Irene leaps at the mystery - whether there's one or not. After a few failed leads, and not one strange occurrence, Irene is almost ready to give up. Then, a string of break-ins on Sarah's street pulls everyone together into a tale of spies and secrets leftover from the war.

A Famous Film Star.... A Vandalised Poster... A Hunt for a Killer...London is abuzz with the premiere of the film 'The Thief At Midnight'. The film's American stars, the beautiful Kathleen Carrington and the flirtatious Don Radcliffe, have come to Britain for the red carpet. However, they are met with vandalised posters and a message that clearly someone doesn't want Miss Carrington to leave London alive. They request Irene and Joe specifically to search the hotel the actors are staying at - The Ritz, of course - and the theatre, for any signs of foul play. Just when Irene is about to rule this case a dud, a dead body turns up with the victim bearing a strange resemblance to Miss Kathleen Carrington herself. Irene, Joe, and DI Lestrade are swept up into the glitz and glamour of Hollywood as they attempt to keep the killer from striking again - all while trying to keep a low profile with the two biggest stars in the city.

Three Wealthy families... Two missing women... One big secret...When two young women go missing at a prestigious finishing school, Irene and Joe are requested to investigate the disappearance. Both students hail from wealthy families and where there's money - there's impatience and demand. But not all is as it seems behind the closed doors of these wealthy families. Soon, Irene and Joe are thrust into a world of feuding parents and secret pasts, and must try as hard as they can to keep their wits about them.

Irene and Joe face their most curious case yet when a woman asks them to investigate the wealthy family she began working as a housekeeper for a few months prior. Locked doors and secret rooms permeate the household and the further Irene and Joe probe into the family's life, the deeper the secrets become. They play a dangerous game of undercover to see just what mysteries lay beneath the floorboards of this dark household, but what they discover is more than either of them bargained for.

Irene and Joe's previous cases come to a head when Mr. Cullens of British Intelligence pays a visit to Baker Street. He tasks the pair with scoping out the wedding of the son of one of the biggest companies in London to ensure no harm comes to him during the upcoming ceremony. Mr. Cullens is worried that the mystery woman with the A.B. initials Irene has been unknowingly playing tag with will disrupt the wedding and cause undue trauma to this innocent family. As Irene and Joe dig further into the bride and groom though, they discover secrets that the happy couple would prefer to keep quiet, and reasons for someone wanting each of them out of the picture-for good. With meddling, often come trouble, and it isn't long before Irene and Joe are deep in a twisted web of lies and deception that they struggle to escape. Tension runs high between the pair and puts them in grave danger while threatening to disrupt the friendship they've worked so hard to build.
