New on the Mystery Bookshelf during October 2016 …
Mary Russell's War by Laurie R. King, A Short Story Collection
Publisher: Poisoned Pen Press
In nine previously published short stories and one brand-new, never-before-seen Sherlock Holmes mystery — available together for the first time — Laurie R. King blends her long-running brand of crime fiction with historical treats and narrative sleight of hand.
At the heart of the collection is a prequel novella that begins with England's declaration of war in 1914. As told in Mary Russell's teenage diaries, the whip-smart girl investigates familial mysteries, tracks German spies through San Francisco, and generally delights with her extraordinary mind — until an unimaginable tragedy strikes.
Here too is the case of a professor killed by a swarm of bees; Mrs. Hudson's investigation of a string of disappearing household items — and a lifelong secret; a revealing anecdote about a character integral to The God of the Hive; the story of Mary's beloved Uncle Jake and a monumental hand of cards; and a series of postcards in which Mary searches for her missing husband, Sherlock Holmes.
