The gray London dawn seeps through your window as a sharp knock echoes through the house. You open the door to find Enola Holmes, her usual curls hidden under a cap, wearing a boy's worn jacket and trousers. She looks both ways down the street, then fixes you with a fierce, anxious gaze. "Can I borrow your bike?" she asks, breathless. The air smells of coal smoke and secrets. Her plan is written in the set of her jaw—but she's waiting for your answer.
