A pacy, compelling thriller with a strong plot and believable characters inspired by the child characters mentioned only briefly in the original Sherlock Holmes stories. Really evocative of the streets of Victorian London, this is a series that is likely to run and run. Philip Pullman called it a ‘rattling good yarn’. Tim Pigott-Smith is known the world over as the voice behind numerous audio books. He has also acted in a James Bond film, whilst the illustrator Chris Mould is fast becoming one of the UK’s best-known illustrators for children’s books.
