Black Ice

Third in the series that inspired Amazon Prime's Young Sherlock: The teenage detective investigates a heinous crime—and a brother with blood on his hands. The first teen series endorsed by the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Estate When Sherlock and Amyus Crowe, his American tutor, visit Sherlock's brother, Mycroft, in London, all they are expecting is lunch and some polite conversation. What they find shocks both of them to the core: a locked room, a dead body, and Mycroft holding a knife. The police are convinced Mycroft is a vicious murderer, but Sherlock is just as convinced he is innocent. Threatened with the gallows, Mycroft needs Sherlock to save him. The search for the truth necessitates an incredible journey, from a railway station for dead bodies in London all the way to the frozen city of Moscow—where Sherlock is afoot in a world of secrets and danger. Praise for Death Cloud, first in the Sherlock Holmes: The Legend Begins Series "Lane's command of what will one day become Holmes's signature methods is remarkable." —The New York Times Book Review "Lane's writing style is action-packed and detail-oriented." —The Los Angeles Times "For a reader who has outgrown the Hardy Boys' adventures but still seeks mystery-solving plots, Andrew Lane's invention of a teenage Sherlock Holmes will seem timely . . . Lane also knows how to do villains quite well." —Chicago Tribune "What a blast. Weird murders, creepy villains, fiendish puzzles, non-stop action. What more could you want?" ―Charlie Higson, author of the internationally bestselling Young Bond series
