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.
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 Andrew Lane's Red Leech and Black Ice.
