A missing father. A secret treasure. A one-legged killer. The second Holmes novel pulls Mary Morstan into Sherlock Baker Street's most dangerous game yet. Ten years ago, her father, a British officer in India, vanished without a trace. Now an anonymous letter has arrived, hinting at answers, and Mary knows only one man can help her find them. Holmes and Watson follow the clues from a dying man's cryptic confession to the rotting estate of the Sholto brothers, where a murder has just been committed and a legendary treasure stolen. What begins as a search for a missing man becomes something far darker: a trail that leads from the slums of London to the distant Andaman Islands, from the ruins of the British Empire to the truth behind a decade of silence. Jonathan Small waits in the shadows, armed with a bamboo leg and a terrible purpose. The game is only beginning.
