内容概要
THE GAME'S AFOOT...
It is November 1890 and London is gripped by a merciless winter.
Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are enjoying tea by the fire when an
agitated gentleman arrives unannounced at 221b Baker Street. He
begs Holmes for help, telling the unnerving story of a scar-faced
man with piercing eyes who has stalked him in recent weeks.
Intrigued by the man's tale, Holmes and Watson find themselves
swiftly drawn into a series of puzzling and sinister events,
stretching from the gas-lit streets of London to the teeming
criminal underworld of Boston. As the pair delve deeper into the
case, they stumble across a whispered phrase 'the House of Silk': a
mysterious entity and foe more deadly than any Holmes has
encountered, and a conspiracy that threatens to tear apart the very
fabric of society itself...
With devilish plotting and excellent characterisation,
bestselling author Anthony Horowitz delivers a first-rate Sherlock
Holmes mystery for a modern readership whilst remaining utterly
true to the spirit of the original Conan Doyle books. Sherlock
Holmes is back with all the nuance, pace and powers of deduction
that make him the world's greatest and most celebrated
detective.
The first official new Sherlock Holmes mystery, written by global
bestseller Anthony Horowitz.

媒体关注与评论
"The author excels at turning his readers into 'Watsons' who are devoted to Holmes and enthusiastically leap into danger just to follow the detective throughout a case...The characterization of Holmes and Watson is true to the original but also offers greater insight into a fascinating friendship...Horowitz even knows how to write a riveting chase scene that, were it filmed for Ritchie's movie franchise, would certainly be an adrenaline-fueled cinematic climax...for its attention to character, quality of plot, and Horowitz's familiarity with the original stories, it scores highly."--PopMatters.com
