  The London Borough of Hackney is run by the crime syndicate Bai Ze. One night an expensive horse carriage arrives at their headquarters. Behind the carriage is the leader of the Bai Ze, Mr.Quin, hanging at the end of a bloody rope. The journey here has stripped him of his clothes and shredded most his skin off him. He rasps one final word to his second in command: 'Mogwai'.
  
  It's the Cantonese word for the devil. In London the normal order of the criminal syndicates has been broken and a new dangerous villain is playing to win the entire game. It is also ruining the business of the Bohemia - the secret underworld club. The members are being killed and club owner, Irene Adler, must seek the help of the only person who can solve these mysterious murders - her strange friend, Sherlock Holmes.
  
  Somewhere at the other end of all these murders lies the truth about Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty.

  - 'Highly recommend
  I found this series as I am fan of anything by Anthony Horowitz who is listed as a co author on book one. It's fast become one of my favourite audiobook series with such a clever & enthralling take on the world of Sherlock Holmes and a future somewhat dystopian London. The narration is one of the best I've ever heard, possibly even better than the great Stephen Fry. All the characters voices are authentic and different , not one annoying . Superb cannot wait for the next instalment'

  Pitch perfect narration in a fantastic reimagining of well loved characters. I hope there are more instalments'

  - 'The Magician The making of Sherlock.
  A seamless continuation of the previous books. Containing the character and intrigue that this novel presents. I recommend it as another great read.'
  
  - 'Sherlock and John live on!
  As a big fan of anything Sherlock Holmes related (the Conan Doyle originals, the TV series, and Anthony Horowitz's House of Silk etc ) I was a little skeptical about this new series, especially as it's set in the future. But I am LOVING them - all three so far have been great. Gripping storylines, superb narration. I can't wait for the next one!'

  In a society of unpredictability, greed, and crime, several individuals were thrust into a world of money, sex, and power after they were adopted by an affluent Chicago couple. However, what seems too good to be true usually is. Can they trust their allies and defend the Crowne legacy? 
   
   
   
  Him: She walked into the room like she owned it, demanding that I pay attention before she even voiced a word. When faced with the brown beauty, I almost forgot my number one rule: trust no one. It's something I remind myself daily. We all have an addiction and if I'm not careful, she'll become mine. I can't afford any distractions right now, especially when my latest obsession has secrets that can do more harm than good. 
   
   
   
  Her: He has every reason to be uncertain about me and yet, I can't help but be drawn to him in every way. How he speaks. The way he walks. The fact that all eyes are on him when he's in their presence. I can't recall a time in my life when I wasn't running from something, and not always by choice. I don't want to crave him like plenty of women already do. He's a Crowne. We'd never work. So why can't I seem to remember that fact whenever I'm near him? 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.
