The Art of Detection (A Kate Martinelli Mystery Book 5)

In this thrilling new crime novel that ingeniously bridges Laurie R. Kingâ€™s Edgar and Creasey Awardsâ€”winning Kate Martinelli series and her bestselling series starring Mary Russell, San Francisco homicide detective Kate Martinelli crosses paths with Sherlock Holmesâ€“in a spellbinding dual mystery that could come only from the â€œintelligent, witty, and complexâ€ mind of New York Times bestselling author Laurie R. Kingâ€¦.

Kate Martinelli has seen her share of peculiar things as a San Francisco cop, but never anything quite like this: an ornate Victorian sitting room straight out of a Sherlock Holmes storyâ€“complete with violin, tobacco-filled Persian slipper, and gunshots in the wallpaper that spell out the initials of the late queen.

Philip Gilbert was a true Holmes fanatic, from his antiquated dÃ©cor to his vintage wardrobe. And no mere fan of fictionâ€™s great detective, but a leading expert with a collection of priceless memorabiliaâ€“a collection some would kill for.

And perhaps someone did: In his collection is a century-old manuscript purportedly written by Holmes himselfâ€“a manuscript that eerily echoes details of Gilbertâ€™s own murder.

Now, with the help of her partner, Al Hawkin, Kate must follow the convoluted trail of a killerâ€“one who may have trained at the feet of the greatest mind of all times.
