Sherlock Holmes is languishing and back on cocaine after a disastrous Ripper investigation. Even Dr Watson cannot rouse him, until a strangely encoded letter arrives from Paris. A beautiful French singer writes that her little boy has disappeared, and she’s been attacked in the streets.

Racing between London, Paris and the wintry wilds of Lancashire, Holmes and Watson discover the case is linked to the theft of a priceless statue and deaths of several children. The pair must confront a rival detective, Holmes’s interfering brother Mycroft and an untouchable suspect if they are to stop a rising tide of murders. The game is afoot!

‘Dark, stylish, ingeniously plotted. Holmes and Watson live again.’

Unquiet Spirits

BONNIE MACBIRD

An attempted murder, a haunted castle, a terrible discovery …

Sherlock Holmes has found himself the target of a deadly vendetta in London, but is distracted when beautiful Scotswoman Isla MacLaren arrives at 221B with a tale of kidnapping, ghosts, and dynamite in her family’s Highland estate. To Watson’s surprise, however, he walks away in favour of a mission for Mycroft in the South of France.

On the Riviera, a horrific revelation draws Holmes and Watson up to the McLaren castle after all, and Holmes discovers that all three cases have blended into a single, deadly conundrum. To solve the mystery, the ultimate rational thinker must confront a ghost from his own past. But Sherlock Holmes does not believe in ghosts … or does he?

‘A rollicking tale worthy of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle himself.’

The Devil’s Due

BONNIE MACBIRD

London, 1890. A freezing November …

As anarchists terrorize the city, a series of gruesome murders strikes deeper into its heart. Leading philanthropists are being slaughtered in alphabetical order, all members of a secret club, the Luminarians. And with each victim, a loved one mysteriously dies as well.

As the murders continue, the letter ‘H’ climbs closer to the top of the list – and then Mycroft Holmes disappears. Hampered by a new head of Scotland Yard, a vengeful journalist and a beautiful socialite with her own agenda, must Sherlock Holmes himself cross to the dark side to take down this devil? Even John Watson, the man who knows him best, can only watch and wonder …

‘One of the best Sherlock Holmes novels of recent memory.’
