Barefoot on Baker Street is set in late Victorian London where a
life of crime is the only way to escape poverty and servitude for
one bright young workhouse orphan. The narrative follows Red on her
incredible life-journey as it twists and turns through poverty,
riches, infatuation, loss and love. A dramatic escape from the
workhouse at thirteen propels Red into a world of slum housing,
street gangs, prostitution and petty crime as the rapidly expanding
city groans under the weight of the industrial revolution. A chance
meeting with the mysterious and eccentric Sherlock Holmes prompts
an infatuation which cuts through her street-wise bravado. Red's
blossoming criminal career also brings her to the attention of
Professor James Moriarty. An autistic savant riddled with obsessive
compulsions, Moriarty is a dangerous criminal who draws Red into
his life and onto a collision course with Holmes.
