A heatwave melts London as Holmes and Watson are called to action in this new Sherlock Holmes adventure by Bonnie MacBird, author of “one of the best Sherlock Holmes novels of recent memory.” In Whitechapel, a renowned Italian escape artist dies spectacularly on stage during a performance – immolated in a gleaming copper cauldron of his wife’s design. In Cambridge, the runaway daughter of a famous don drowns, her long blonde hair tangled in the Jesus Lock on the River Cam. And in Baker Street, a malevolent locksmith exacts an unusual price to open a small silver box sent to Watson. From the glow of the London stage to the buzzing Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, where physicists explore the edges of new science of electricity, Holmes and Watson race between the two cities to solve the murders, encountering prevaricating prestidigitators, philandering physicists and murderous mentalists, all the while unlocking secrets which may be best left undisclosed. And one, in particular, lands very close to home. In this historical fiction, the suspense is palpable as Holmes and Watson navigate the thrilling world of crime and mystery. The traditional detective procedural is turned on its head as they race against time, unlocking secrets that may be best left undisclosed. For fans of James Lovegrove (Sherlock Holmes), Tim Major (The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes), Philip Purser-Hallard (Trojans), Anthony Horowitz (Nightshade Revenge), and Christian Klaver (The Classified Dossier).
