Book description

Sherlock has been kidnapped! Now he's on a ship bound for China . . . At the port of Shanghai, Sherlock finds a mystery awaiting him. How can three men be bitten by the same poisonous snake in different parts of town? What exactly is the rat-like creature that is following him? Can he decode the message that's hidden in a diagram like a spider's web? And what has all of this got to do with a plot to blow up an American warship? To solve the mystery, Sherlock must brave terrors greater than any he has faced before . . . 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.
