The House of Silk

'Horowitz has captured Holmes Heaven' THE TIMES

THE HOUSE OF SILK was the first official new Sherlock Holmes mystery and a
SUNDAY TIMES bestseller from the author of MAGPIE MURDERS

THE GAME'S AFOOT . . .

It is November 1890 and London is gripped by a merciless winter. Sherlock
Holmes and Dr Watson are enjoying tea by the fire when an agitated gentleman
arrives unannounced at 221b Baker Street. He begs Holmes for help, telling the
unnerving story of a scar-faced man with piercing eyes who has stalked him in
recent weeks.

Intrigued, Holmes and Watson find themselves swiftly drawn into a series of
puzzling and sinister events, stretching from the gas-lit streets of London to
the teeming criminal underworld of Boston and the mysterious 'House of Silk' .
