Thank you and happy Reading. * The Beekeeper’s Apprentice THE TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF THE FIRST NOVEL OF THE ACCLAIMED MARY RUSSELL SERIES BY EDGAR AWARD -WINNING AUTHOR LAURIE R. KING IN 1915, SHERLOCK HOLMES IS RETIRED and quietly engaged in the study of honeybees in Sussex when a young woman literally stumbles into him on the Sussex Downs. Fifteen years old, gawky, egotistical, and recently orphaned, the young Mary Russell displays an intellect to impress even Sherlock Holmes. Under his reluctant tutelage, this very modern twentieth-century woman proves a deft protégée and a fitting partner for the Victorian detective. They are soon called to Wales to help Scotland Yard find the kidnapped daughter of an American senator, a case of inter-national significance with clues that dip deep into Holmes's past. Full of brilliant deduction, disguises, and danger, this first book of the Mary Russell-Sherlock Holmes mysteries is "remarkably beguiling" (The Boston Globe). "King has stepped onto the sacred literary preserve of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, poached Holmes, and brilliantly brought him to life again.” - The Washington Post Book World "A Fascinating and ohen moving account of a friendship so unusual and so compelling that one almost accepts it as being historically real." -The Denver Post "Enchanting… The Beekeeper's Apprentice is real Laurie R. King, not faux Conan Doyle, and for my money, it's better than the original." - San Jose Mercury News "Rousing…Riveting...Suspenseful." -Chicago Sun-Times FOR AUTHOR INTERVIEW AND DISCUSSION QUESTIONS VISIT WWW.PICADORUSA.COM/THEBEEKEEPERSAPPRENTICE WWW.LAURIERKING.COM * 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. Returning to the scene of one of his most celebrated cases, The Hound of the Baskervilles, Holmes and Russell investigate a mystery darker and more unforgiving than the moors themselves. *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 *Dasding may be the word to describe King's latest Mary Russell- Sherlock Holmes adventure.... Add King's devilishly clever plot and eccentric characters, her ability to achieve a perfect balance between serious mystery and lighthearted humor, and the charm with which she develops the captivating relationship between Holmes and Russell, and the result is a superbly rich read that would please Doyle himself." - Booklist *King has the tone, mood, and voice precisely right... Very good. -The Boston Globe *Mary's description of how she thinks through all the elements of a mystery- so deep in thought as if she were in a trance - is excellent." -Salon.com * A Monstrous Regiment of Women "As audacious as it is entertaining and moving…. What gives Laurie R. King's books such a rich and original texture is the character of Mary- totally believable in her own right, a tall and gangling orphan with a restless intellect and a great store of moral and physical courage." -Chicago Tribune IT IS 1921 AND MARY RUSSkLI-Sherlock Holmes's brilliant apprentice, now an Oxford graduate with a degree in theology-is on the verge of acquiring a sizable inheritance. Independent at last, with a passion for divinity and detective work, her most baffling mystery may now involve Holmes and the burgeoning of a deeper affection between herself and the retired detective. Russell's attentions turn to the New Temple of God and its leader, Margery Childe, a charismatic suffragette and a mystic, whose draw on the young theology scholar is irresistible. But when four bluestockings from the Temple turn up dead shortly after changing their wills, could sins of a capital nature be afoot? Holmes and Russell investigate, as their partnership takes a surprising turn. "Mary Russell makes a triumphant return. Thoroughly enjoyable." -Booklist "Extraordinary..A delight." -The Washingion Times "King has a gift for the rich, decisive detail and the narrative crispness that distinguished Conan-Doyle's writing." -The Washingion Post Book World
