The Shattered Doctor

A Sherlock Holmes Mystery

From Marc Hill, Amazon bestselling author of Two Dark Thirty, comes a dark reimagining of the world's most famous partnership.

"Brilliantly atmospheric… a haunting twist on Holmes and Watson." — Early Reader Review

London, 1888. A soldier Dr. John Watson once saved in Afghanistan is found dead in the Thames River. As Watson is drawn into the investigation, something goes terribly wrong.

Blood on his clothes. Gaps in his memory. A scent he can't explain.

In the shadow of the Whitechapel Ripper murders, veterans are disappearing into experimental "treatments" that promise to heal military trauma—but create something far more dangerous. Jasmine, voices, & commands whispered in the dark.

Watson has become entangled in a conspiracy that reaches into the highest levels of British power. And someone is using his own mind against him.

Sherlock Holmes races to save his friend. But when memory becomes weapon and loyalty becomes trap, even the world's greatest detective may be too late.

Some gates, once opened, cannot be closed.

The Shattered Doctor is a psychological thriller of manipulation, loyalty, and the cost of trust—perfect for readers of atmospheric Victorian mysteries and historical crime fiction who crave intelligent suspense and moral complexity.
