Description
Who Killed Sherlock Holmes? by Paul Cornell
Someone has murdered the ghost of Sherlock Holmes. But who is responsible – and will the murderer strike again?
As a fictional character remembered by the people of London, Holmes’ ghost walked the city. But someone put a ceremonial dagger through his chest, with fatal consequences. What could be the motive?
A small team of Metropolitan Police detectives have ‘the Sight’ and they find themselves assigned to this twisty new investigation. They pursue a criminal genius, who lures them into a Sherlockian maze of too many clues and too much evidence. Yet they also have their own demons to fight.
Lisa Ross finds herself drawn to an actor who may or may not be a deity, and goes on a quest to win back her happiness. Lofthouse seeks to finally answer the question as to why she brought the team together. And while Quill battles for his sanity, Costain battles for his soul. Sefton just wants to bring his team back together – even if that takes him to the edge of death.
Who Killed Sherlock Holmes? is the third volume of Paul Cornell’s Shadow Police novels.
