A shadow falls over fog-bound London, reaching from the distant jungles of Sumatra to the cobbled streets of Limehouse, where merchants lie dead and whispers of a curse abound. Sherlock Holmes seems the obvious man to dispel superstition with logic - yet it is his housekeeper, Mrs Hudson, and orphaned maid Flotsam who uncover the truth behind the menace. From venomous snakes to silver daggers, peril surrounds them, and the game is once again afoot. Intricate and witty, the Holmes & Hudson series pays homage to Conan Doyle's classics while offering a fresh glimpse into Baker Street's unsung lives.
