Laurie R. Kingโs New York Times bestselling series featuring Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes is โthe most sustained feat of imagination in mystery fiction todayโ (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, sheโs now disappeared after an outing from Bethlem Royal Hospital . . . better known as Bedlam.
Russell wants nothing to do with the caseโbut she canโt say no. To track down the vanished woman, she must use her deductive instincts and talent for subterfugeโand enlist her husbandโs legendary prowess. Together, the two travel from the grim confines of Bedlam to the murky canals of Veniceโonly to find the shadow of Benito Mussolini darkening the fate of a city, an era, and a tormented English lady of privilege.
