The brand new adventure from the author of The Devil and the Four, in which Sherlock Holmes and Henry Vernier uncover a tense family mystery.FAMILY SECRETSSherlock Holmes acquires a new client when a beautiful young woman, Isabel Stone, faints on the steps of his Baker Street rooms. She has come to beg his assistance in reclaiming the priceless jewels kept from her by her tyrannical stepfather, Captain Grimbold Pratt. But shortly after agreeing to take her case, Captain Pratt comes to Baker Street, furious that Isabel is trying to deprive him of his fortune. Unsure who to believe, Holmes and his cousin, Dr Henry Vernier, must travel to Pratt’s estate, home to tigers, wolves and murderers, to unravel a family mystery dating back to the Indian Mutiny.
“This clever mystery is further proof that Siciliano is one of the best contemporary pasticheurs.”– Publishers Weekly starred review“The spirit and tone of the classic Holmes adventure are alive and well in this instalment. If you are a Holmes fan looking for some new adventures with the Great Detective, The Venerable Tiger is one to pick up!– The Crime Review“A nice nod to the canon” – Girl Who ReadsPraise for Sam Siciliano:“The tone is Homesian to the last detail, with the reader swept along to a satisfying ending. A fine addition to the Holmes canon.” Library Journal“Siciliano’s tale… is wonderfully atmospheric and moves briskly.” Publishers Weekly“The [familiar] tale seems fresher and deeper, thanks both to the invigorating presence of Holmes and Vernier and to the wealth of marvelous detail, especially on the Paris Opera House itself.” Booklist (on The Angel of the Opera)
