Jon Watson is recovering from the horrors of fighting in Afghanistan, while working as a doctor (well, ok- a medical intern) in a hospital in Harlem. When he meets a PI by the name of Holmes (NO ONE calls him Sherlock), their paths merge; Watson's hospitalized victim of a drug overdose is found to have overdosed on truth serum. This leads them down the paths of drug dealers, hit lists, computer encryption, and babies found in dumpsters. It is a fascinating re-envisioning of the classic Sherlock Holmes characters, and works quite well with African-American main characters and taking place in New York City.
