As Holmes and Russell anticipate, a rational explanation lies beneath the supernatural events--but one darker than they could have imagined. And one that could end their lives in this harsh and desolate land. Edgar Award-winner Laurie R. King's highly acclaimed, nationally bestselling sensation: "There's no resisting the appeal of King's thrillingly moody scenes of Dartmoor and her lovely evocations of its legends." --The New York Times Book 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." --The Washington Post Book World "Erudite, fascinating...by all odds the most successful recreation of the famous inhabitant of 221B Baker Street ever attempted." --Houston Chronicle
