Julia Eccleshare's comment:
The world’s favourite detective was already showing signs of his future exceptional talent for investigation as a child. Ignoring the obvious when he comes across his brother holding a knife and with a dead body in front of him, the Young Sherlock sets out on a thrilling adventure to save him. Nothing is quite as simple as it seems in this fast-paced adventure driven by the Young Sherlock’s indefatigable quest for the truth and packed-full of sinister, ill-willed villains.

Synopsis
Young Sherlock Holmes: Black Ice by Andrew LaneThe world's most famous detective. The most brilliant mind in fiction. But before he became the great detective, who was young Sherlock Holmes?
The year is 1868 and fourteen-year-old Sherlock Holmes faces his most baffling mystery yet. Mycroft, his older brother, has been found with a knife in his hand, locked in a room with a corpse. Only Sherlock believes that his brother is innocent. But can he prove it? In a chase that will take him to Moscow and back, Sherlock must discover who has framed Mycroft and why ...before Mycroft swings at the gallows. Young Sherlock Holmes is a series of novels in which the iconic detective is reimagined as a brilliant, troubled and engaging teenager - creating unputdownable detective adventures that remain true to the spirit of the original books.
