"Brilliant and beautifully complex....Her descriptions of locales are voluptuous, and her continued delineation of the relationship of Russell and Holmes exquisitely portrays the eroticism of intellectual give-and-take." --"Booklist" (starred review) "The Mary Russell series is the most sustained feat of imagination in mystery fiction today."--Lee Child "The great marvel of King's series is that she's managed to preserve the integrity of Holmes's character and yet somehow conjure up a woman astute, edgy, and compelling enough to be the partner of his mind as well as his heart." --"The Washington Post Book World" The award-winning novels of Laurie R.

I have read all of Laurie R King's books and enjoyed all of them. To readers who may not be familiar with King's books, her central characters are Sherlock Holmes and his wife, Mary Russell, together with Holmes's brother, Mycroft, and Scotland Yard's Inspector Lestrade.
In this latest adventure in the series, Holmes and Russell have become involved with Randolph Fflytte, a film maker who is trying to make a film loosely based on "The Pirates of Penzance." Russell has serious misgivings about becoming involved in this undertaking; at first, she flatly refuses. But Holmes convinces her that she should take it on. It begins as a bit of a far-fetched comic affair, but it soon turns deadly serious, and Holmes and Russell, together with their cohorts, soon find themselves fighting for their lives and their freedom.
