Description

Holmes and Watson face treachery and danger in the latest full-length thriller by Bonnie MacBird, author of the bestselling Sherlock Holmes novel Art in the Blood.
Murder, jealousy, and deceit underscore three interlocking mysteries as Holmes and Watson take on a high profile case at Windsor Castle, a boy drowned in the Serpentine, and a crusading womens rights activist who suspects a traitor in her organisation. The cases send them into danger into locales as varied as the palace itself, a dockland cannery, an arts and crafts atelier, and a gypsy encampment. But is there peril underfoot as well right at 221B Baker Street

The twisting, breathlessly plotted conjoined mysteries that Bonnie MacBird is known for provide a thrill ride that will delight Sherlockians worldwide.

Reviews

What could be a better present this season than a new Christmas case for Sherlock Holmes Bonnie MacBirds worthy pastiche takes us back to 221B Baker Street in a snowy Victorian December. The Wall Street Journal

The brilliant MacBird manages to produce a tale which is both authentic and original, yet pays homage to the genius of Arthur Conan Doyle.
Dundee Courier

Neatly emulates the style and tone of Arthur Conan Doyles original stories If youre in the mood for light seasonal entertainment, albeit with a serious underlay, look no further.
Michael Dirda, Washington Post

Perfectly captures the essence of Conan Doyle's fiction.Independent

No one can surpass Conan Doyle at his best, but a select few pastiche writers get close enough that they can almost reach out and touch the master. Bonnie MacBird is one of those writers that achieves this consistently. If you need a Holmes story for Christmas (and who doesn't) get hold of this immediately.The Doyleockian
