The Brothers of Baker Street by Michael Robertson

Two brothers, Reggie and Nigel Heath, who are lawyers, set up their offices at 221B Baker Street. Part of the terms of their lease is that they answer the letters that arrive addressed to Sherlock Holmes. Most of the letters get a form letter in reply but one of them seems to relate to a case that Reggie is working on - the Black Cab murders. The case is getting a lot of attention because if Londoners can't trust a Black Cab to get them home, who can they trust? Reggie has other problems too. His girlfriend, actress Laura Rankin, seems to be getting engaged to a rich newspaper publisher, Nigel has gone off to California, and he has no other cases pending - and then he gets arrested. This is the sequel to The Brothers of Baker Street.
