Anthony Horowitz
The House of Silk
The House of Silk is the new Sherlock Holmes mystery by Anthony Horowitz. The story is set in 1890, narrated by Watson from his retirement home, a year after the death of Holmes.
Opening with a train robbery in Boston, with the action then moving to Wimbledon, we are told that the tale was too monstrous, too appalling to reveal until now. "It is no exaggeration to say it could tear apart the very fabric of society", Watson writes in the prologue.
On writing the book, Horowitz says; "I have tried to be very, very careful. I really do admire these stories, and I would not want to take any liberties."
