Mystery Historical
Laurie R. King’s New York Times bestselling novels of
suspense featuring Mary Russell and her husband, Sherlock
Holmes, are critically acclaimed and beloved by readers
for
the author’s adept interplay of history and adventure. Now
the intrepid duo is finally trying to take a little time
for
themselves—only to be swept up in a baffling case that
will
lead them from the idyllic panoramas of Japan to the
depths
of Oxford’s most revered institution. After a lengthy case that had the couple traipsing all
over
India, Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes are on their way
to
California to deal with some family business that Russell
has been neglecting for far too long. Along the way, they
plan to break up the long voyage with a sojourn in
southern
Japan. The cruising steamer Thomas Carlyle is leaving
Bombay, bound for Kobe. Though they’re not the vacationing
types, Russell is looking forward to a change of focus—not
to mention a chance to travel to a location Holmes has not
visited before. The idea of the pair being on equal
footing
is enticing to a woman who often must race to catch up
with
her older, highly skilled husband. Aboard the ship, intrigue stirs almost immediately. Holmes
recognizes the famous clubman the Earl of Darley, whom he
suspects of being an occasional blackmailer: not an
unlikely
career choice for a man richer in social connections than
in
pounds sterling. And then there’s the lithe, surprisingly
fluent young Japanese woman who befriends Russell and
quotes
haiku. She agrees to tutor the couple in Japanese language
and customs, but Russell can’t shake the feeling that
Haruki
Sato is not who she claims to be. Once in Japan, Russell’s suspicions are confirmed in a
most
surprising way. From the glorious city of Tokyo to the
cavernous library at Oxford, Russell and Holmes race to
solve a mystery involving international extortion,
espionage, and the shocking secrets that, if revealed,
could
spark revolution—and topple an empire.
