About this product

Product Information

Laurie R. King's bestselling mystery series featuring Mary Russell and her husband and partner, Sherlock Holmes, is beloved by readers and acclaimed by critics the world over. Now the illustrious duo returns for their most dangerous exploit yet, in a rich and atmospheric tale that takes them to India to save the life of one of literature's most fabled heroes. It's the second day of the new year, 1924, and Mary Russell is settling in for a much-needed rest with her husband, Sherlock Holmes. But the fragile peace will be fleeting-for a visit with Holmes's gravely ill brother, Mycroft, brings news of an intrigue that is sure to halt their respite. Mycroft, who has ties to the highest levels of the government, has just received a strange package. The oilskin-wrapped packet contains the papers of a missing English spy named Kimball O'Hara-indeed, the same Kimball who served as the inspiration for Rudyard Kipling's famed Kim. An orphaned English boy turned loose in India, Kim long used his cunning to spy for the Crown. But after inexplicably withdrawing from the "Great Game" of border espionage, he's gone missing and is feared taken hostage-or even killed. When Russell learns of Holmes's own secret friendship with Kim some thirty years before, she knows the die is cast: she will accompany her husband to India to search for the missing operative. But even before they arrive, danger will show its face in everything from a suspicious passenger on board their steamer to an "accident" that very nearly claims their lives. Once in India, Russell and Holmes must travel incognito-no small task for the English lady and her lanky companion. But after a twist of fate forces the couple to part ways, Russell learns that in this faraway place it's often impossible to tell friend from foe-and that some games must be played out until their deadly end. Showcasing King's masterful plotting and skill at making history leap from the page, The Game brings alive an India fraught with unrest and poised for change-and an unpredictable mystery with brilliance and character to match.

Reviews

" May well be the best King has devised yet... . The sights, smells and ideas of India make interesting, evocative reading." --"Publishers Weekly," Starred Review. " A rousing adventure story made credible by the sheer force of its characters' personalities and the sharply realized details of their surroundings. Good historical fiction is as close as we'll ever get to time travel, and historical fiction doesn't get any better than this." --"The Denver Post" "From the Hardcover edition."

Sherlock Holmes, Mary Russell and Kim
This is the seventh book by Ms. King in the Mary Russell series. It is every bit as sumptuous as its cover. It contains her usual cast of eccentrics placed in lovingly constructed scenery with a complex plot and brisk direction. It is a thoroughly enjoyable adventure story with a good deal of the fascination of its inspiration, Rudyard Kipling's "Kim". Each of the books in this series has its own flavor. For example, "The Beekeeper's Apprentice" is the most “Sherlockian”, with all the traditional deductions and observations, while "Justice Hall" is an intense drama of complex and layered personalities. The deep introspection of "A Letter of Mary" and "O Jerusalem" contrasts with the English Gothic of "The Moor" and the modernist "A Monstrous Regiment of Women". These books are all ... This is the seventh book by Ms. King in the Mary Russell series. It is every bit as sumptuous as its cover. It contains her usual cast of eccentrics placed in lovingly constructed scenery with a complex plot and brisk direction. It is a thoroughly enjoyable adventure story with a good deal of the fascination of its inspiration, Rudyard Kipling's "Kim". Each of the books in this series has its own flavor. For example, "The Beekeeper's Apprentice" is the most “Sherlockian”, with all the traditional deductions and observations, while "Justice Hall" is an intense drama of complex and layered personalities. The deep introspection of "A Letter of Mary" and "O Jerusalem" contrasts with the English Gothic of "The Moor" and the modernist "A Monstrous Regiment of Women". These books are all different, interesting and well written. The latest in the series maintains the string. All these tales feature Mary Russell, a brilliant and growing identity with charm and a fascination of her own. In the background is the comforting presence of Sherlock himself, watching and marveling at this unique individual grown from the troubled girl he met on the Downs years ago. Each book brings new aspects of "Russell" to the light, mostly by placing her in a variety of superb backgrounds. The author has a genius for creating illuminating moments and for swiftly drawing beautiful portraits of both people and places in a few, vivid words. Her prose recalls Roger Zelazny's ability to insert gemlike vignettes in the midst of otherwise furious action tales. "The Game" is a rousing good adventure story set in India with all the traditional characters; the varied population of India and the Grand Trunk Road, wily Pathans, treacherous dacoits, a cheeky beggar boy, an inscrutable rajah and a dedicated British spymaster. For good measure, some new characters are added to the mix; a rich American Communist, some Indian flappers, a match-making mama, sinister dwarves, a recuperating Mycroft, and, of course, the Irish Buddhist himself, Kimball O'Hara. The point of her books is usually not the mystery to be solved, but rather the trip to the solution and the people met along the way. So it is with "The Game". The mystery is not really a mystery and the story is artfully contrived to maneuver the characters to illustrate their natures, not to dazzle the reader with a complex plot. It's fun, but no intellectual challenge and it is one of the least "Sherlockian" of all the series. The Master symbolically reprises his earlier trip to Tibet, this time with Russell, searching for the missing O'Hara, his companion on the earlier trip. The journey, not the destination.
