The Moor

Returning to the scene of one of his most celebrated cases, The Hound of the Baskervilles, Sherlock Holmes and Mary Russell investigate a mystery darker and more unforgiving than the moors themselves, in Laurie R. King's The Moor.

In the eerie wasteland of Dartmoor, Sherlock Holmes summons his devoted wife and partner, Mary Russell, from her studies at Oxford to aid the investigation of a death and some disturbing phenomena of a decidedly supernatural origin. Through the mists of the moor there have been sightings of a spectral coach made of bones carrying a woman long-ago accused of murdering her husband--and of a hound with a single glowing eye.

“There's no resisting the appeal of Laurie R. King's thrillingly moody scenes of Dartmoor and her lovely evocations of its legends.” —The New York Times Book Review
