For the first time in its one-hundred-and-twenty-five-year
history, the Arthur Conan Doyle Estate has authorized a new
Sherlock Holmes novel.
Once again, THE GAME'S AFOOT...
London, 1890. 221B Baker St. A fine art dealer named Edmund
Carstairs visits Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson to beg
for their help. He is being menaced by a strange man in a
flat cap - a wanted criminal who seems to have followed him
all the way from America. In the days that follow, his home
is robbed, his family is threatened. And then the first
murder takes place.
Almost unwillingly, Holmes and Watson find themselves being
drawn ever deeper into an international conspiracy connected
to the teeming criminal underworld of Boston, the gaslit
streets of London, opium dens and much, much more. And as
they dig, they begin to hear the whispered phrase-the House
of Silk-a mysterious entity that connects the highest levels
of government to the deepest depths of criminality. Holmes
begins to fear that he has uncovered a conspiracy that
threatens to tear apart the very fabric of society.
The Arthur Conan Doyle Estate chose the celebrated, #1 New
York Times bestselling author Anthony Horowitz to write The
House of Silk because of his proven ability to tell a
transfixing story and for his passion for all things Holmes.
Destined to become an instant classic, The House of Silk
brings Sherlock Holmes back with all the nuance, pacing, and
almost superhuman powers of analysis and deduction that made
him the world's greatest detective, in a case depicting
events too shocking, too monstrous to ever appear in
print...until now.
