The third case in the compelling Boy Sherlock Holmes series is full of as many twists and turns as the backstreets of Victorian London. When a wealthy young girl vanishes as if by magic in Hyde Park, Sherlock is once again driven to prove himself. In a heart-stopping race against time, an innocent boy's survival depends on Sherlock's ability to solve the mysterious puzzle of the Vanishing Girl. As complex as the maze that protects the missing girl's hiding place, this case takes Sherlock racing to the countryside, the coast and into the lair of dangerous creatures.
Praise for Eye Of The Crow:
the first intriguing volume in an ambitious new series. plenty of readers will find themselves irresistibly drawn into his thrilling adventures.
