Are you a fan of mystery, intrigue, and the brilliant mind of Sherlock Holmes? If so, then you're in for a treat! In this article, we will explore an alternative version of the legendary detective - an unexpected yet captivating character known as "An Urchin of Means". This intriguing take on Sherlock Holmes is a dynamic and engaging tale that will leave you on the edge of your seat. So, grab your magnifying glass and let's dive into the enigmatic world of this alternative detective!

Unveiling the Enigma: Who is An Urchin of Means?

An Urchin of Means beckons readers to follow in the footsteps of its protagonist, an unconventional detective named William Merritt Sullivan. Unlike the sharp-tongued and stoic Holmes, Sullivan is a streetwise and resourceful orphan. Raised in the underbelly of London during the 19th century, he navigates his way through life with wit, agility, and an unparalleled talent for deduction.

Our young hero is not defined by his economic class but rather by his remarkable intellect and thirst for justice. An Urchin of Means presents a refreshing twist to the classic detective archetype, proving that a brilliant mind can emerge from unexpected origins.

Ringo Devereux knows far too much for a man of his times. There’s no simple explanation for it that doesn’t involve improbable conversations about the future, and Ringo’s advanced understanding of three-phase generators and the secret histories of his city are not things he can discuss with the Victorian Londoners around him. Even his origins as an orphaned street thief are far too dangerous for a young gentleman of means to reveal.

An encounter with a ten-year-old pickpocket, and a luncheon with Oscar Wilde and Arthur Conan Doyle draw Ringo back into the shadows of his criminal past. A stolen gemstone, a suspicious pawnbroker, and a damning bundle of letters are mysteries that require Ringo’s thief’s instincts, his obscure facts, and the help of a little girl with the skills of deduction like his.

But are these crimes as random as they first appear? What do a covert affair and a blue carbuncle have in common? Ringo knows too much, but someone knows more, and the identity of a mysterious red-haired woman is perhaps the most diabolically complicated plot of them all.
