New York: Bantam, (2002.). SIGNED first edition - Sixth suspense novel featuring Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes. The Washington Post managed to sum up the appeal of this series in their review: '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.' Publisher's letter laid in. 331 pp. plus epilogue and afterword.
