'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 bloodstained room, a missing woman, a passionate affair gone wrong. As London basks in September sunshine, the city is abuzz with exciting news. There is a new detective in London, dazzling society with spectacular deductive skills and giving Sherlock Holmes a run for his money. Radical politician George Dashing has returned from foreign parts and is setting hearts aflutter. And a housemaid is missing, leaving behind only a pool of blood. Sharp-witted Mrs Hudson and her able assistant, the housemaid Flotsam, are drawn into the midst of these swirling currents and must navigate scandals, secrets and foreign assassins. Both homage and reinvention, the Holmes & Hudson series shines a light on the overlooked lives behind Baker Street's most famous resident. A must-read for fans of Laurie R. King, Ann Granger and M. R. C. Kasasian.
