Itā€™s only the second day of 1924, but Mary Russell and her husband, Sherlock Holmes, find themselves embroiled in intrigue. It starts with a New Yearā€™s visit from Holmesā€™s brother Mycroft, who comes bearing a strange package containing the papers of an English spy named Kimball Oā€™Haraā€”the same Kimball known to the world through Kiplingā€™s famed Kim. Inexplicably, Oā€™Hara withdrew from the ā€œGreat Gameā€ of espionage and now he has just as inexplicably disappeared. 

When Russell discovers Holmesā€™s own secret friendship with the spy, she knows the die is cast: she will accompany her husband to India to search for the missing operative. But Russell soon learns that in this faraway and exotic land, itā€™s often impossible to tell friend from foeā€”and that some games arenā€™t played for fun but for the highest stakes of allā€¦life and death.

BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Laurie R. King's Garment of Shadows.
