Es beginnt an einem kalten Novembertag des Jahres 1890 in der Londoner Baker Street 221b. Ein elegant gekleideter Herr bittet Sherlock Holmes um Hilfe. Er fühlt sich von einem Mann verfolgt, den er als den einzigen Überlebenden einer amerikanischen Verbrecherbande erkennt, die in Boston zerschlagen wurde. Trotz seiner legendären Methoden kann Holmes zunächst keine eindeutige Spur finden. Nur ein weißes Band am Handgelenk eines ermordeten Straßenjungen scheint als Hinweis brauchbar, aber das Ausmaß der dahinterstehenden Verschwörung ahnt nicht einmal der Meisterdetektiv.

Wenn die geheimen Tore sich öffnen, wird eine alte Macht wieder auferstehen und die Welt in die Dunkelheit stürzen...

When editor Susan Ryeland is given the tattered manuscript of Alan Conway's latest novel, she has little idea it will change her life. She's worked with the revered crime writer for years, and his detective, Atticus Pund, is renowned for solving crimes in the sleepy English villages of the 1950s.

But Conway's latest tale of murder at Pye Hall is not quite what it seems.

Enlisted to find his uncle's killers and complete Ian's final mission, Alex suddenly finds himself caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse, with no way out.

A wealthy woman strangled six hours after she's arranged her own funeral. A very private detective uncovering secrets but hiding his own. A reluctant author drawn into a story he can’t control. What do they have in common? Unexpected death, an unsolved mystery and a trail of bloody clues lie at the heart of Anthony Horowitz's new thriller. Spread the word. The word is murder.
