Notes

General Note
Inculdes an excerpt from Locked rooms, the next installment in the Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes series by King.
Description
The superlatives keep piling up for mystery fiction's most acclaimed revival: "Erudite, fascinating - by all means the most successful recreation of the famous inhabitant of 221B Baker Street," applauded the Houston Chronicle, and the Denver Post agreed: "We bow to a writer who can take a literary icon of this magnitude and make him fresh and real." Now the spellbinding series that "has the power to charm the most grizzled Baker Street Irregular" continues as Mary Russell and her famous spouse Sherlock Holmes travel to one of Britain's stateliest homes to uncover a secret whose roots reach deep into the very soul of England. With King's trademark action, memorable characters and superb period details, this is historical suspense at its finest. Annotation. In 1915, long since retired from his crime-fighting days, Sherlock Holmes is engaged in a reclusive study of honeybees on the Sussex Downs. Never did the Victorian detective think to meet an intellect matching his own-until his acquaintance with Miss Mary Russell, a young twentieth-century lady whose mental acuity is equaled only by her penchant for deduction, disguises, and danger. Under Holmes's reluctant tutelage, Russell embarks on a case involving a landowner's mysterious fever and the kidnapping of an American senator's daughter in the wilds of Wales. Then a near-fatal bomb on her doorstep-and another on Holmes's-sends the two sleuths on the trail of a murderer who scatters bizarre clues and seems utterly without motive. The villain's objective, however, is quite unequivocal: to end Russell and Holmes's partnership-and then their lives.
