Synopsis

British sleuth Patrick Dawlish gets caught in a twisted web of deceit spun by a criminal mastermind—from the Edgar Award–winning author.   When Patrick Dawlish is too quiet, Scotland Yard gets suspicious. The police are used to him treading about on their turf—with or without their approval. This time, they come to Dawlish for help, asking him to defile his inner sanctum: the Carilon gentleman’s club.   Five perfectly respectable young women have gone missing—and all signs point to fellow club member Sebastian Kane, a bombastic explorer and big-game hunter. Only Kane isn’t the only suspect. His acquaintance is a woman with a bad reputation, and the five disappeared ladies  have all worked as her secretary. As Dawlish inserts himself into their lives, he uncovers accusations of robbery, gold smuggling, and drug trafficking. And the closer Dawlish gets to the truth, the closer he gets to becoming the next trophy on their wall . . .

    Mysterious socialite Dorian Gray is at the centre of Sherlock Holmes’ latest investigation in this astonishing, uncanny mash-up of Victorian mystery and horror 
     
    1903 
     
    Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson have tickets to the newly arrived Egyptian Circus. Holmes is puzzled by his brother Mycroft’s cryptic gift but is intrigued enough to attend the next production. 
     
    The performers, dressed as wondrous half-animal, half-human gods from Egyptian mythology, display superhuman agility and stunts. But they speak no Arabic, sequester themselves in the stables after each show and take orders from a mysterious ring master who is yet to be seen. And then one of the performers is murdered. 
     
    Holmes’s enquires lead him to Montebank Manor, the home of the beautiful and secretive socialite Dorian Gray. As Holmes digs deeper, he learns Gray is hiding much more than his involvement in a murder. It’s a darkly fantastical tale of lies, experimentation, hypnosis and wicked ambition.
