In this crackling short story, New York Times bestselling author Laurie R. King reveals an unforgettable new twist in the adventure that led supersleuth Sherlock Holmes to discover his first (and finest) apprentice, Mary Russell.
Sherlock Holmes is fending off a particularly dark mood as he roams the Sussex Downs, in search of wild bees. The Great War may be raging across the Channel, but on the Downs, the great detective nears terminal melancholiaβonly to be saved by an encounter with headstrong, yellow-haired young Mary Russell, who soon becomes the Masterβs apprentice not only in beekeeping but in detection.
Holmes instantly spots her remarkable ability, but his sharp eyes also see troubling problems. Why is this wealthy orphan who lives with her aunt so shabbily dressed? Why is she so prone to illness and accident? Is she herself the center of a mystery? These are questions that the great detective must answer quickly lest his protΓ©gΓ©e, and his own new lease on life, meet a sudden, tragic end.
The tale of their meeting has been told from Russellβs point of view, but even those who have never met the famed Russell-Holmes pair will read this tale with delightβand, as its climax builds, with breathless excitement.
