I am kicking around an idea for sort of a prequel to Sherlock Holmes. He is just out of college and Dr. Watson takes him under his wing as an amateur sleuth. Dr. Watson is the expert.
Then a bizarre series of murders take place in London and Sherlock just manages to run down the murderer only to find reality phasing out then back in. He is in modern USA, the murderer is a time traveler. He learns modern medicine, crime fighting techniques, forensics, etc. Then he tracks down the murderer only to have himself again transported to old England where he defeats the serial murderer.
Now Dr. Watson is the bumbling amateur while Sherlock, armed with secret knowledge he cannot tell, becomes the amazing Sherlock Holmes.
