Produktbeschreibung

Book 15 in a series of chronological stand-alone plots.

Australia, November 1900
Eager to embrace the horse racing carnival and the cricket season, Watson and the Countess are drawn to Melbourne where the Countess meets her mother (Irene Adler) for the first time, while the doctor discovers that news of his brother's death has been greatly exaggerated.
With Henry Sherrinford Watson giving Dr Watson the runaround, it is up to Irene and the Countess to investigate the murder of a popular young cricketer inside a hansom cab. But will amateur sleuthing be up to the task when Godfrey Norton (husband of Irene) becomes a suspect?
Can two women track down a murderer while navigating a man's world dominated by sportsmen, gamblers and touts... a world in fear of itself, overrun by sexual alchemy, eschatology, biblical revelation, and demonic hellcarts?
Homage to Fergus Hume.

Autorenporträt

Anna Lord has long been fascinated by myth and metaphor, and the way they inform human thought. With an English and Philosophy degree focused on metaphysical poets and logical thinking there was only one creative avenue for her to follow: two rational detectives battling to make sense of a superstitious gas-lit world.

Anna's Ukrainian background, coupled with a love for whodunnits, Victorian settings, and Gothic characters, inspires her literary world and makes the books a joy to write.

The result is her new series: Watson and the Countess.
