Dreaming Spies

Laurie R. King: Dreaming Spies (UK 2015)

From the Publisher:
Returning to their tranquil Sussex home, Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes discover a beautiful rock mysteriously planted in the flower bed -- a rock they last saw in the Emperor's garden in Tokyo. Perhaps the dangerous investigation they carried out for him might not be as complete as they had thought?

One year earlier, Russell and Holmes board the Thomas Carlyle, bound for California with a visit to Japan on the way. A holiday, they think -- but intrigue raises its head when a fellow passenger agrees to tutor the couple in her native language and customs. Young Miss Haruki Sato, they begin to suspect, is not who she claims to be. From the winding lanes of Oxford to the palaces of Japan, the ingenious duo embark on an utterly compelling adventure of politics and espionage.

Laurie R. King: Dreaming Spies. The mesmerising new Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes Mystery. Allison & Busby, ISBN: 9780749018214 (October, 2015), 383 p., £7.99.

Dreaming Spies

Laurie R. King: Dreaming Spies (USA 2015)

From the Publisher:
Laurie R. King's novels of suspense featuring Mary Russell and her husband, Sherlock Holmes, are critically acclaimed and beloved by readers for the author's adept interplay of history and adventure. Now the intrepid duo is finally trying to take a little time for themselves -- only to be swept up in a baffling case that will lead them from the idyllic panoramas of Japan to the depths of Oxford's most revered institution.

After a lengthy case that had the couple traipsing all over India, Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes are on their way to California to deal with some family business that Russell has been neglecting for far too long. Along the way, they plan to break up the long voyage with a sojourn in southern Japan. The cruising steamer Thomas Carlyle is leaving Bombay, bound for Kobe. Though they're not the vacationing types, Russell is looking forward to a change of focus -- not to mention a chance to travel to a location Holmes has not visited before. The idea of the pair being on equal footing is enticing to a woman who often must race to catch up with her older, highly skilled husband.

Aboard the ship, intrigue stirs almost immediately. Holmes recognizes the famous clubman the Earl of Darley, whom he suspects of being an occasional blackmailer: not an unlikely career choice for a man richer in social connections than in pounds sterling. And then there's the lithe, surprisingly fluent young Japanese woman who befriends Russell and quotes haiku. She agrees to tutor the couple in Japanese language and customs, but Russell can't shake the feeling that Haruki Sato is not who she claims to be.

Once in Japan, Russell's suspicions are confirmed in a most surprising way. From the glorious city of Tokyo to the cavernous library at Oxford, Russell and Holmes race to solve a mystery involving international extortion, espionage, and the shocking secrets that, if revealed, could spark revolution -- and topple an empire.

Laurie R. King: Dreaming Spies. A Novel of Suspense featuring Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes. Bantam, ISBN: 9780345531810 (October, 2015), 349 p., $16.00.
