The Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes Series - Book 10
The God of the Hive
“The God of the Hive is
mesmerizing—another wonderful novel etched by the hand of a master
storyteller. No reader who opens this one will be disappointed.”
Michael Connelly
New York Times bestselling author Laurie R. King enjoys immense popularity and resounding critical acclaim for her exquisite mysteries. Picking up where The Language of Bees left off, King’s The God of the Hive pits Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes against Scotland Yard and the most merciless of adversaries.
On the run, spouses Russell and Holmes are forced to part ways to better their chances of eluding the vicious foes hot on their heels—but going it alone presents particular dangers. Communicating only through coded messages, Russell and Holmes work the mystery of their pursuers from separate ends—and find that their cunning and deductive powers are stretched to the very limit.
King’s astute take on the Holmes mythos is a delightful addition to one of literature’s most beloved creations.
