The world's most famous detective. The most brilliant mind in fiction. But before he became the great detective, who was young Sherlock Holmes?
The year is 1868, and Sherlock Holmes is fourteen. He has witnessed his first murder and travelled to America to unravel a deadly mystery, but now he faces his most dangerous mission yet. Mycroft, Sherlock's older brother, has suddenly vanished. Sherlock discovers that he has headed to Russia and has no choice but to follow him, across the freezing Baltic Sea, into strange territory and to face an unknown enemy...but will he arrive too late to save his brother?
Young Sherlock Holmes is a series of novels in which the iconic detective is reimagined as a brilliant, troubled and engaging teenager - creating unputdownable detective adventures that remain true to the spirit of the original books.
Andrew Lane is an author, journalist and lifelong Sherlock Holmes fan. This is his first series for young adults. He lives in Hampshire with his wife and son. Andrew's passion for the original novels of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his determination to create an authentic teenage Sherlock Holmes made him the perfect choice to work with the Conan Doyle Estate to reinvent the world's most famous detective in this new series.
