THE HOUSE OF SILK (REISSUE)

The House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz is an atmospheric and intricately plotted Sherlock Holmes mystery, written as an authorized new case for Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson.

Long after the events of the case, Dr John Watson decides to reveal a story he has kept secret for decades—one so shocking that he believed it was too dangerous to publish during his lifetime.

The mystery begins when Edmund Carstairs, a wealthy art dealer, approaches Holmes after being terrorized by a mysterious criminal organization. Carstairs fears that an old enemy has followed him from America to London, and Holmes agrees to investigate.

But before Holmes can uncover the truth, a seemingly unrelated murder takes place.

As Holmes and Watson follow the evidence through the darker corners of Victorian London, they discover connections between the two cases and uncover the existence of a secret organization known as the House of Silk.

The investigation takes Holmes into a world of hidden identities, political influence, criminal networks and secrets that powerful people will do anything to keep concealed. What initially appears to be a straightforward case soon develops into something far more disturbing.

Holmes must rely on his extraordinary powers of deduction while Watson confronts dangers that test both his courage and his loyalty to his friend. The deeper they investigate, the more they realize that the House of Silk may represent a threat unlike anything they have encountered before.

Rich in Victorian atmosphere and filled with clever clues, deception and unexpected turns, The House of Silk captures the spirit of Arthur Conan Doyle's original characters while delivering an entirely new mystery. It is a compelling Holmes adventure about crime, corruption, secrecy and the terrible consequences of uncovering truths that powerful people would rather remain hidden.
