London, 1890. Edmund Carstairs, a fine art dealer, comes to 221B Baker Street to ask Holmes and Watson for help. A man in a flat cap, a wanted criminal, seems to have followed him all the way from America. Within days his house is robbed, his family is threatened and the first murder follows.
The case draws Holmes and Watson into a conspiracy that runs from Boston to the gaslit streets of London, and they keep hearing the same whispered phrase: “the House of Silk.” The Arthur Conan Doyle estate chose Anthony Horowitz to write it, the first new Holmes novel the estate had approved in more than a century.
Trade paperback, 304 pages, published by Little, Brown in October 2012.
