Descriere The Language of Bees: A Novel of Suspense Featuring Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes - Laurie R. King

In a case that will push their relationship to the breaking point, Mary Russell, wife of Sherlock Holmes, must help reverse the greatest failure of her legendary husband's storied past--a painful and personal defeat that still has the power to sting . . . this time fatally. \nNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Laurie R.] King enriches the Sherlockian legacy.--The Boston Globe \n \nFor Mary Russell and her husband, Sherlock Holmes, returning to the Sussex coast after seven months abroad was especially sweet. There was even a mystery to solve--the unexplained disappearance of an entire colony of bees from one of Holmes's beloved hives. \nBut the anticipated sweetness of their homecoming is quickly tempered by a galling memory from the past. Mary had met Damian Adler only once before, when the surrealist painter had been charged with--and exonerated from--murder. Now the troubled young man is enlisting the Holmeses' help again, this time in a desperate search for his missing wife and child. \n \nMary has often observed that there are many kinds of madness, and before this case yields its shattering solution she'll come into dangerous contact with a fair number of them. From suicides at Stonehenge to the dark secrets of a young woman's past on the streets of Shanghai, Mary will find herself on the trail of a killer more dangerous than any she's ever faced--a killer Sherlock Holmes himself may be protecting for reasons near and dear to his heart.\n
