Synopsis

In June 1884, a run of uninspiring work leaves Sherlock Holmes restless and out of sorts, despite having recently surprised Inspector Lestrade by solving six crimes in six consecutive days. A new case arrives at the last moment when Inspector Gregson brings news of a murder in the arable farmlands of Bedfordshire, where the owner of a small stately home has been killed during a dinner party.

With the murder weapon unaccounted for, the investigation opens into a wide-ranging narrative that moves from England to Africa and stretches across decades. Along the way, the story traces shifts from poverty to wealth, and from friendship to betrayal, with deception and further violence close behind. Suitable for readers who enjoy Sherlock Holmes mysteries.
