In nine short stories, seven of which have never previously been available in print, and one brand new, never-before-seen Sherlock Holmes mystery - available together for the first time - Laurie R. King blends her long-running brand of crime fiction with historical treats and narrative sleight of hand. At the
heart of the collection is a prequel novella that begins with England's
declaration of war in 1914. As told in Mary Russell's teenage diaries, the whipsmart girl investigates familial mysteries, tracks German spies through San
Francisco, and generally delights with her extraordinary mind - until an unimaginable tragedy strikes.
Laurie R. King has won many awards for her work including the prestigious John Creasey Dagger, the Edgar, the Nero and Macavity Awards. In 2022 she was named Grand Master by Mystery Writers of America. King is the author of highly praised stand-alone suspense novels and a contemporary mystery series, as well as the Mary Russell & Sherlock Holmes series. She lives in Northern California.
