In the teeth of winter, SHERLOCK HOLMES and DR. WATSON journey to Bedfordshire to tackle a string of killings that stretch back years, centred upon the Gothic mansion of Ravensgate Hall, a late-eighteenth century country estate carved out in the Georgian era by daring adventurers and investors. The brooding stone mansion and its dark woods hide a thousand secrets –– no one is quite who they seem –– and a web of deceit and grief extends back to 1865…
What could possibly connect a mutilated corpse in the southern woods, a strangled couple in a grace-and-favour cottage, and a slain farm girl in a nearby village? Who is telling the whole truth, and who only half? Will aristocratic reticence keep Holmes from the facts? What of the old man who lies abed, protected by his ferocious nurse? And what secrets do the very stones and timbers of the dark and creepy mansion hold close?
