Mary Russell is well used to dark secrets - her own, and those of her famous
partner and husband, Sherlock Holmes. Trust is a thing slowly given, but over
the course of a decade together, the two have forged an indissoluble bond. But
what of the other person Mary Russell has opened her heart to, that third
member of the Holmes household: Mrs Hudson? Blood on the floor, a token on
the mantelpiece, the smell of gunshot in the air: all point directly at Clara
Hudson - or rather, at Clarissa, the woman she was before Baker Street. The
key to Russell's sacrifice lies in Mrs Hudson's past, and to uncover the crime, a
frantic Sherlock Holmes must put aside his anguish and push deep into his
housekeeper's secrets, to a time before her disguise was assumed, before her
crimes were buried away. There is death here, and murder, and trust betrayed.
