THE
GAME''S AFOOT...It is November 1890 and London is gripped by a
merciless winter. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are enjoying tea by
the fire when an agitated gentleman arrives unannounced at 221b
Baker Street. He begs Holmes for help, telling the unnerving story
of a scar-faced man with piercing eyes who has stalked him in
recent weeks. Intrigued by the man''s tale, Holmes and Watson find
themselves swiftly drawn into a series of puzzling and sinister
events, stretching from the gas-lit streets of London to the
teeming criminal underworld of Boston. As the pair delve deeper
into the case, they stumble across a whispered phrase ''the House of
Silk'': a mysterious entity and foe more deadly than any Holmes has
encountered, and a conspiracy that threatens to tear apart the very
fabric of society itself'' With devilish plotting and excellent
characterisation, bestselling author Anthony Horowitz delivers a
first-rate Sherlock Holmes mystery for a modern readership whilst
remaining utterly true to the spirit of the original Conan Doyle
books. Sherlock Holmes is back with all the nuance, pace and powers
of deduction that make him the world''s greatest and most celebrated
detective.
