Mary Russell and her husband, Sherlock Holmes, have stirred the wrath of a murderous secret organization bent on infiltrating the government. Now they are separated and on the run, wanted by the police, and pursued across the Continent by a ruthless enemy with limitless resources and powerful connections. Unstoppable together, Russell and Holmes will have to survive this time apart, maintaining contact only by means of coded messages and cryptic notes. But has the couple made a fatal mistake by separating, making themselves easier targets for the shadowy government agents sent to silence them? A hermit with a mysterious past and a beautiful young female doctor with a secret, a cruelly scarred flyer and an obsessed man of the cloth: Everyone Russell and Holmes meet could either speed their safe reunion or betray them to their enemies-in the most complex, shocking, and deeply personal case of their career

      Mary Russell and her husband, the aging Sherlock Holmes, face threats from various sources, including Scotland Yard, a dangerous faction within the British Government, and a religious fanatic. Until they can get to the bottom of it all, they need to spirit Holmes's son to safety and protect his granddaughter. Jenny Sterlin's narration of the latest installment in King's stellar Mary Russell series is calm as she switches from the first-person narration of Russell to the third person while detailing the exploits of other characters. Sterlin rises to the challenge of differentiating various male characters, many with an upper-class British accent. Her presentation of King's obviously well-researched Holmes is authentic and creates an intriguing listen for both King's fans and devotees of Conan Doyle's famous detective. K.J.P.

      Those who enjoyed the 2009 film Sherlock Holmes
      starring Robert Downey Jr. may appreciate bestseller King's heavy-on-action, light-on-deduction 10th novel featuring Mary Russell and her much older husband, Conan Doyle's iconic detective. The plot picks up in the summer of 1924 right after the previous entry in the series, The Language of Bees
      . A religious fanatic, Rev. Thomas Brothers, who seeks to unleash psychic energies through human sacrifice, has shot Holmes's artist son, Damian Adler, seriously wounding the young man. Holmes's desperate quest for medical help to save his son's life takes him to Holland, while Mary travels throughout Britain in an effort to keep Damian's half-Chinese daughter, Estelle, safe from Brothers and his allies. Cliffhanging situations abound as both leads benefit from the convenient appearance of extremely helpful strangers.
