'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' . . .

Perfectly paced, entirely unpredictable, edge-of-seat exciting and a total joy from start to finish - SUNDAY EXPRESS
-
An exciting, well-crafted novel - SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
-
It seems improbable, if not impossible, but it's true! Holmes is back at his best - INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
-
There is a suitably baffling mystery and the great detective is on top form. It's very good; dare I say as good as the original? - LITERARY REVIEW
-
THE HOUSE OF SILK is superb - DAILY TELEGRAPH
-
Enthusiastically replicating the spirit, style, suspense and atmosphere of Conan Doyle's stories, this skilfully crafted homage is an irresistible read - THE SUNDAY TIMES
