Though theirs is a marriage of true equals, when Sherlock
Holmes summons his wife and partner Mary Russell to the
eerie scene of his most celebrated case, she abandons her
Oxford studies to aid his investigation. But this time, on
Dartmoor, there is more to the matter than a phantom
hound. Sightings of a spectral coach carrying a long-dead
noblewoman over the moonlit moor have heralded a
mysterious death, the corpse surrounded by oversize paw
prints. Here on this wild and foreboding moor, Russell and
Holmes embark on a quest with few clues save a fanatic
anthropologist, an ancestral portrait, a moorland witch,
and a lowly–but most revealing–hedgehog. As Holmes and
Russell anticipate, a rational explanation lies beneath
the supernatural events–but one darker than they could
have imagined. And one that could end their lives in this
harsh and desolate land.
