The long-awaited reissue of the very first book in the bestselling
Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes series

In 1915, Sherlock Holmes is retired and quietly engaged in the study of honeybees when a young woman literally stumbles into him on the Sussex Downs. Fifteen years old, gawky, egotistical, and recently orphaned, the young Mary Russell displays an intellect to impress even Sherlock Holmes--and match him wit for wit. Under his reluctant tutelage, this very modern twentieth-century woman proves a deft protégée and a fitting partner for the Victorian detective. But even in their first case together, the pair face a truly cunning adversary who will stop at nothing to put an end to their partnership.  

'All [Laurie R King books] without exception, leave me with a feeling of immense satisfaction at the quality of the story and the writing.'It's a Crime Blog

An absolutely beautifully written, fantastically plotted, elegantly told gem of a novel. The perfect start to what promises to be a wonderful series. With characters that jump right off the page and into your heart this is a sure fire winner for fans of Sherlock Holmes and for those who haven't had the pleasure of meeting the great detective yet. Don't delay get your copy now!Penny Bullock, Lancaster
