The world's most famous detective. The most brilliant mind in fiction. But before he became the great detective, who was young Sherlock Holmes?

Endorsed by the Conan Doyle Estate, Death Cloud is the first in the Young Sherlock series in which the iconic detective is reimagined as a brilliant but troubled teenager, creating unputdownable detective adventures that remain true to the spirit of the original books.

Soon to be a television series on Amazon Prime.

The year is 1868, and Sherlock Holmes is fourteen. His life is that of a perfectly ordinary army officer's son: boarding school, good manners, a classical education—the backbone of the British Empire. But all that is about to change. With his father suddenly posted to India, and his mother mysteriously "unwell," Sherlock is sent to stay with his eccentric uncle and aunt in their vast house in Hampshire. So begins a summer that leads Sherlock to uncover his first murder, a kidnap, corruption, and a brilliantly sinister villain of exquisitely malign intent...

Sherlock Holmes. Think you know him? Think again. Continue the investigative adventures with Red Leech, Black Ice, Fire Storm, Snake Bite, Knife Edge, Stone Cold, and Night Break.
