About this ebook
New York Times bestselling, Edgar Award–winning author Laurie R. King returns to the 1920s of Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes, but then sets off into fabulous new worlds in this dynamic collection of thirteen suspense, crime, and speculative fiction stories, some beloved and others brand-new.
Dive into the captivating world of Laurie R. King, from the mysteries of her beloved Mary Russell series to standalone tales that explore shifting cultures, moral ambiguity, and all the different forms crime can take.
Join the unforgettable cast of Mary Russell's world in five stories of intrigue. In “Ten Years On,” Russell spends her anniversary on an unexpected case that has her unearthing the fate of an Indian soldier, but the truth is more complicated than just discerning his cause of death. In the previously unpublished “Dr Watson and the Resident Ghost,” Watson approaches Russell with a case he can’t take to Holmes . . . that of an apparition in his own home. “The Art of the Scam” follows Russell’s charming and roguish Uncle Jake as he may have bitten off more than he can chew in planning a sting against a powerful man.
In eight standalone stories, travel beyond the world of Mary Russell to early ‘80s Papua New Guinea in “The Salt Pond,” a small town holding big secrets in the Edgar Award–shortlisted “Paleta Man,” and even to an alternate world in “Hellbender,” where genetic engineering produces a new kind of detective altogether.
These thrilling and ingenious tales are must-have for fans and a perfect introduction for new readers, thirteen stories that showcase King’s prowess across eras and genres, proving her to be one of the most talented voices in suspense fiction.
