Erasing Sherlock is an original novel by Kelly Hale set in the Faction Paradox universe.[1]

It is the last Faction Paradox novel to be published by Mad Norwegian Press, though not the last in the series. Although taking place in a shared universe, it is a stand-alone work that does not require any prior knowledge of Faction Paradox.

The novel is based on a previous work, Erasing Sherlock Holmes, which won a $10,000 award in the Great North American Fiction Contest and was published as an e-book by PublishingOnline.com.[2] It has been described as a "fascinating (and undeservedly obscure) novel" [3] and reviewed in publications ranging from various Sherlock Holmes Society publications to the science fiction, Aeon Magazine.[4]

Plot

"Seeking maid-of-all-work. Master of Arts required. Opportunities for research in the field. Must be able to relocate in time." A doctoral candidate, in the guise of a housemaid working at 221B Baker Street, believes she is there to observe the 25-year-old Sherlock Holmes, and document his methods at the beginning of his career. She soon learns she is operating under a serious misapprehension.
