Sherlock Holmes has never been so alone. And never so much humanity's last hope.
London, 1895. One morning, a mysterious package left outside 221B Baker Street changes the lives of the famous detective and his loyal friend Dr. Watson forever. The letter inside is a cry for help from a hundred and fifty years in the future, from the year 2050. The world's population has exceeded 30 billion, and technology has reached unimaginable heights. Flying cars, artificial intelligences, bionic limbs, memory transfer... everything exists. But alongside good technology, dark technology has also risen.
Unsolved murders increase by the day, and the clearance rate has fallen below seven percent. Because the police of 2050 have become so dependent on technology that they have forgotten old‑school detection. They collect evidence but cannot interpret it. They analyse data but cannot make sense of it. They have forgotten how to observe, how to connect clues, how to read human nature. Their artificial intelligences exist, but none can replace the brain of Sherlock Holmes.
Police Chief Yasin Güneş and his partner Taner Alparslan of the Istanbul Police Department, in desperation, develop a time machine and decide to bring back the greatest detective of all time. Holmes and Watson follow the instructions and board the device. But an unexpected accident teleports them not to the planned location but to Kadıköy Square, right in the middle of a crowd. The two Victorian gentlemen, appearing in the square with all their office belongings, are mistaken for flea market vendors.
Soon finding themselves in the police department's underground facility, Holmes and Watson confront the horrifying reality of 2050: In the dark technology market, time‑slowing sprays, memory‑wiping helmets, and nanobot injectors are sold. Killers leave almost no traces. And at the centre of this chaos lies the unsolved murder of quantum physicist Professor Selin Koç.
With his characteristic composure, Holmes deploys his old‑school methods. Magnifying glass, chemistry set, observation, and logic. But this time his enemy is not just a killer. Alongside him are the flaws of the AI detective "Sibyl", the ruthless players of the dark technology market, a secret organisation called "The Network" that has infiltrated the police force, and most dangerously, a mysterious woman from the 19th century known as the "Mother of Time".
When technology blinds humanity, a light is needed to see the truth even in the darkest shadows. That light is in the eyes of Sherlock Holmes.
The owner of time is not time, but justice.
This novel, a flawless fusion of crime fiction and science fiction, takes the reader from the foggy streets of 1895 London to the dazzling but decaying Istanbul of 2050, then to a space station and a base outside time itself. Friendship, betrayal, the destructive impact of technology on the human soul, and the one unchanging truth: justice will always find a way.
You have never seen Sherlock Holmes like this. And you will never see him like this again.
Toros Ataman, 43 yaşında İstanbul doğumlu bir yazardır. Uzun yıllar boyunca edebiyatın farklı köşelerinde dolaşan, kalemini gazetecilik, senaryo yazarlığı ve akademik çalışmalarla sınayan Ataman, ilk romanı "Sherlock Holmes - Geleceğin Gölgesinde" ile okur karşısına çıkmıştır.
Bir Viktoryen dedektifi, distopik bir geleceğin karanlık teknolojileriyle buluşturan bu sıra dışı eser, yazarın polisiye türe olan tutkusunun yanı sıra, insanın teknoloji karşısında nasıl körleştiğine dair derin bir kaygının da ürünüdür. Ataman, romanını yazarken yalnızca bir cinayeti çözmeyi değil, aynı zamanda "gözlem yapmayı unutan bir dünyada gerçeğe nasıl ulaşırız?" sorusuna yanıt aramayı hedeflemiştir.
Edebiyatın yanı sıra felsefe ve bilişim teknolojileri alanlarında da kendini geliştiren Ataman, bu disiplinlerarası birikimini romanının kurgusuna yansıtmıştır. Yapay zekâ, zaman yolculuğu ve insan hafızasının sınırları gibi konulara duyduğu ilgi, onu klasik dedektiflik yöntemlerini 2050 yılının İstanbul'una taşımaya itmiştir.
Ataman, İstanbul'da yaşamakta ve yazarlık çalışmalarını şehrin iki kıta arasında sıkışmış o tuhaf, büyüleyici atmosferinde sürdürmektedir. Amatör bir kemancı ve aynı zamanda bir gözlem meraklısı olan yazar, Sherlock Holmes karakteriyle bu ortak yönleri sayesinde derin bir bağ kurduğunu belirtir.
"Herkesin teknolojiye gömüldüğü bir çağda, en büyük devrim hâlâ iki şeyde saklı Dikkatli bir bakış ve durup düşünme cesareti."

Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;

on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
