Descriere & specificații

In a case that will push their relationship to the breaking point, Mary Russell, wife of Sherlock Holmes, must help reverse the greatest failure of her legendary husband's storied past--a painful and personal defeat that still has the power to sting . . . this time fatally. nNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Laurie R.] King enriches the Sherlockian legacy.--The Boston Globe n nFor Mary Russell and her husband, Sherlock Holmes, returning to the Sussex coast after seven months abroad was especially sweet. There was even a mystery to solve--the unexplained disappearance of an entire colony of bees from one of Holmes's beloved hives. nBut the anticipated sweetness of their homecoming is quickly tempered by a galling memory from the past. Mary had met Damian Adler only once before, when the surrealist painter had been charged with--and exonerated from--murder. Now the troubled young man is enlisting the Holmeses' help again, this time in a desperate search for his missing wife and child. n nMary has often observed that there are many kinds of madness, and before this case yields its shattering solution she'll come into dangerous contact with a fair number of them. From suicides at Stonehenge to the dark secrets of a young woman's past on the streets of Shanghai, Mary will find herself on the trail of a killer more dangerous than any she's ever faced--a killer Sherlock Holmes himself may be protecting for reasons near and dear to his heart.n
