Death Cloud (Sherlock Holmes

First in the series that inspired Amazon Prime's Young Sherlock: "Lane's command of what will one day become Holmes's signature methods is remarkable."—The New York Times Book Review The first teen series endorsed by the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Estate It is the summer of 1868, and Sherlock Holmes is fourteen. On break from boarding school, he is staying with eccentric strangers—his uncle and aunt—in their vast house in Hampshire. When two local people die from symptoms that resemble the plague, Holmes begins to investigate what really killed them, helped by his new tutor, an American named Amyus Crowe. So begins Sherlock's true education in detection, as he discovers the dastardly crimes of a brilliantly sinister villain of exquisitely malign intent. "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 "Andrew Lane begins a new series exploring the pre-history of the famous fictional detective . . . purists will applaud the way he salts the story with clues to the sleuth's adult propensities." —The Wall Street Journal
