'A pacy confection of history, mystery and romance... a most engaging and unusual novel' - The Times 'Ambitious and intriguing... part thriller, part love story, part quest, this is a hugely readable book' - Spectator The Holmes & Hudson series offers a richly entertaining return to Baker Street, where familiar mysteries are viewed through different and sometimes altogether sharper eyes. A dying man collapses on Baker Street making a terrifying claim: he has seen a man rise from the grave. Not long after, Sherlock Holmes is drawn into the disappearance of Viscount Wrexham and the international ramifications of his strange vanishing. Uncanny events continue to manifest on the lonely Cumbrian moors with rumours of ghostly apparitions. At the centre of the mystery lies Broomheath Hall, which is in need of a housekeeper: enter the redoubtable Mrs Hudson and her sharpwitted assistant Flotsam. A dark adventure lies ahead and sinister secrets litter the path to the mysterious Lazarus Testament. Rich in intrigue, humour and gothic charm, the Holmes & Hudson series breathes new life into the world of Sherlock Holmes. A must-read for fans of Laurie R. King, Ann Granger and M. R. C. Kasasian. READERS LOVE THE HOLMES AND HUDSON SERIES: 'Possibly the most inventive and enjoyable twist on the Holmes genre that I've come across so far, as well as being very well written and featuring terrific characters, plots and dialogue.
