Fire Storm

The first teen series endorsed by the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Estate

In Fire Storm by Andrew Lane, young Sherlock's friend and her father have vanished. Their house looks as if nobody has ever lived in it; the neighbors claim never to have heard of them. Sherlock begins to doubt his sanity, until a clever clue points him to Scotland. Following that clue leads him into a mystery that involves kidnapping, bodysnatchers, and a man who claims he can raise the dead. Only the budding detective Sherlock can untangle the mind-bending—and dangerous—puzzles that ensnare his friends. Think you know Sherlock Holmes? Think again!
