![]() ![]() Like I said, it all fell into place, not that it wasn’t a hell of a lot of work to put all the clockwork together. The crime is somehow connected to a whole series of incidents: the crimes from the stories of Arthur Conan Doyle are being recreated, at their original locations across London, in order. ![]() What if that ghost were to be ‘murdered’, found lying face down with a ceremonial dagger in his back? What’s the motive? What does killing a ghost even mean? Perhaps the phantom’s cohesive presence could have been recently amped up, say by three different current versions of Sherlock Holmes all filming in London at the same time, creating ‘Sherlockmania’? Therefore, Sherlock Holmes would very much be present, in 221B Baker Street, as a phantom, visible only to those with ‘the Sight’, like my Metropolitan Police heroes. ![]() In the London of my Shadow Police novels, ‘ghosts’ are the collective memories of all Londoners, and so include fictional and mythical characters, as well as those who were once alive. It was the title that first came to me: Who Killed Sherlock Holmes? And from there, the pieces just fell into place. ![]()

Sundar also mandated education for girls, as well as insisting that they didn’t get married until they were 18. He became an elected official and slowly began to convince his community that if they began to celebrate the births of girls in the village by planting trees, it would drastically improve everyone’s quality of life. After seeing how his job at a marble mine was destroying the environment and then losing his daughter to illness, Sundar thought long and hard about both environmentalism and gender inequality. Seriously, how many picture books do you know that talk about eco-feminism? 111 Trees tells the story of a man named Sundar, who lost his mother as a young child.

Like water or electricity, it is most forceful when it surges. "New power" is power made by many it is open, participatory, and peer-driven. But our ubiquitous connectivity has made possible a new form of power, one that operates differently, like a current. Once gained, old power is jealously guarded, and the powerful spend it carefully, like currency. To get ahead or get things done, you mastered "old power": closed, inaccessible, and leader-driven. From two visionary thinkers and practitioners comes a big idea about how power works differently in our hyperconnected age.For the vast majority of human history, the rules of power were clear. ![]() |
