About the book
A chilling adventure awaits Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes
Queen Marie of Roumania, granddaughter of Victoria, Empress of the British Empire, and Alexander II, Tsar of Russia, requires the services of Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes. The Queen, known for her beauty and for turning Roumania into a powerful nation, invites the duo to Bran castle, an ancient fortress on the border of Transylvania.
The threat the Queen speaks of is mysterious: shadows lurking, whispers in the dark, potential accidents. But a young girl is at risk. Setting aside their doubts, Russell and Holmes embark on an investigation in a land rich in history and secrets, where shadows wander from old churchyards.
