A shadow falls over fog-bound London, reaching from the distant jungles of Sumatra to the cobbled streets of Limehouse, where merchants lie dead and whispers of a curse abound. Sherlock Holmes seems the obvious man to dispel superstition with logic - yet it is his housekeeper, Mrs Hudson, and orphaned maid Flotsam who uncover the truth behind the menace. From venomous snakes to silver daggers, peril surrounds them, and the game is once again afoot.
Intricate and witty, the Holmes & Hudson series pays homage to Conan Doyle's classics while offering a fresh glimpse into Baker Street's unsung lives.
Martin Davies is the author of twelve novels, including international bestseller The Conjuror's Bird which was a Richard and Judy Book Club selection and Havana Sleeping which was shortlisted for an Historical Dagger award by the Crime Writers' Association. The Holmes & Hudson series was begun when Martin was at a loss for a suitable birthday gift for his father, an inspired teller of stories, who first introduced him to the household on Baker Street.
