Laurie R. King’s New York Times bestselling series
featuring Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes is “the most
sustained feat of imagination in mystery fiction today” (Lee
Child)!
The last thing Mary Russell and her husband, Sherlock
Holmes, need is to help an old friend with her mad, missing
aunt. Lady Vivian Beaconsfield has spent most of her adult
life in one asylum after another, since the loss of her
brother and father in the Great War. Although her mental
state seemed to be improving, she’s now disappeared after an
outing from Bethlem Royal Hospital . . . better known as Bedlam.
Russell wants nothing to do with the case—but she can’t say
no. To track down the vanished woman, she must use her
deductive instincts and talent for subterfuge—and enlist her
husband’s legendary prowess. Together, the two travel from
the grim confines of Bedlam to the murky canals of
Venice—only to find the shadow of Benito Mussolini darkening
the fate of a city, an era, and a tormented English lady of
privilege.
