The World's Most Dangerous Woman

The World’s Most Dangerous Woman revolves around Miss Magnus Lyme, a former investigative journalist and author who quietly rules the world as a strategist-for-hire to the world's most powerful people during times of extreme crisis. Miss Lyme uses Mycroftian methods to work behind the scenes to restore order among conflicting interests and can do the things soldiers, spies, and politicians cannot with her serene and sensible demeanor. From preventing coup d'etats to restoring a nation's financial viability to keeping the titans of industry in check, she is the absolute expert in matters of strategy for a kinder world and many of the world elites have secretly agreed to have her final say be binding. In other words, she is ruling the world the Canadian way.
