Summary:
"It began as a problem in one of
Holmes
' beloved beehives, led to a murderous cult, and ended - or so they'd hoped - with a daring escape from a sacrificial altar. Instead,
Mary
Russell
and her husband,
Sherlock
Holmes
, have stirred the wrath and the limitless resources of those they've thwarted. Now they are separated and on the run, wanted by the police, and pursued across the Continent by a ruthless enemy with powerful connections. Unstoppable together,
Russell
and
Holmes
will have to survive this time apart, maintaining tenuous contact only by means of coded messages and cryptic notes. With
Holmes
' young granddaughter in her safekeeping,
Russell
will have to call on instincts she didn't know she had. But has the couple already made a fatal mistake by separating, making themselves easier targets for the shadowy government agents sent to silence them? From hidden rooms in London shops and rustic forest cabins to rickety planes over Scotland and boats on the frozen North Sea,
Russell
and
Holmes
work their way back to each other while uncovering answers to a mystery that will take both of them to solve. A hermit with a mysterious past and a beautiful young female doctor with a secret, a cruelly scarred flyer and an obsessed man of the cloth,
Holmes
' brother, Mycroft, and an Intelligence agent who knows too much: Everyone
Russell
and
Holmes
meet could either speed their safe reunion or betray them to their enemies - in the most complex, shocking, and deeply personal case of their career."--Inside jacket.
