A missing child, a deadly art theft, an unstoppable killer …
Sherlock Holmes is languishing and back on cocaine after a disastrous Ripper investigation. Even Dr Watson cannot rouse him, until a strangely encoded letter arrives from Paris. A beautiful French singer writes that her little boy has disappeared, and she’s been attacked in the streets.
Racing between London, Paris and the wintry wilds of Lancashire, Holmes and Watson discover the case is linked to the theft of a priceless statue and deaths of several children. The pair must confront a rival detective, Holmes’s interfering brother Mycroft and an untouchable suspect if they are to stop a rising tide of murders. The game is afoot!
‘Dark, stylish, ingeniously plotted. Holmes and Watson live again.’
