About this product

Product Information

In this thrilling new crime novel that ingeniously bridges Laurie R. King's Edgar and Creasey Awards--winning Kate Martinelli series and her bestselling series starring Mary Russell, San Francisco homicide detective Kate Martinelli crosses paths with Sherlock Holmes-in a spellbinding dual mystery that could come only from the "intelligent, witty, and complex" mind of New York Times bestselling author Laurie R. King.... Kate Martinelli has seen her share of peculiar things as a San Francisco cop, but never anything quite like this: an ornate Victorian sitting room straight out of a Sherlock Holmes story-complete with violin, tobacco-filled Persian slipper, and gunshots in the wallpaper that spell out the initials of the late queen. Philip Gilbert was a true Holmes fanatic, from his antiquated décor to his vintage wardrobe. And no mere fan of fiction's great detective, but a leading expert with a collection of priceless memorabilia-a collection some would kill for. And perhaps someone did: In his collection is a century-old manuscript purportedly written by Holmes himself-a manuscript that eerily echoes details of Gilbert's own murder. Now, with the help of her partner, Al Hawkin, Kate must follow the convoluted trail of a killer-one who may have trained at the feet of the greatest mind of all times.

  • A short Sherlockian novel within a mystery

    The Art of Detection Publisher: Bantam Dell Division of Random House, New York Year: 2006 Author: Laurie R. King Review: This book is the fifth in a series by the author about San Francisco Homicide detective, Kate Martinelli. Readers familiar with previous books in the series will be more comfortable with the concept of two lesbians rearing a daughter as well as the mixture of friends and acquaintances accumulated by this family in earlier books in the series. This book concerns itself with the murder of a prominent Sherlockian who was a founder member of a local scion society as well as a dealer in expensive Sherlockiana. His body is found in an abandoned defense gun emplacement on the Marin County side of the Straits and his house contains a complete replica of the apartment at ...
