And when the scene is discovered - a pool of blood on the floor, the smell of gunpowder in the air - the most shocking revelation of all is that the grim clues point directly to Clara Hudson. In a devastating instant, everything changes. What Samuel Hudson tells Russell cannot possibly be true, yet she believes him - as surely as she believes the threat of the gun in his hand. Russell's faith and affection are suddenly shattered when a man arrives on the doorstep claiming to be Mrs. And what of the other person to whom Mary Russell has opened her heart: the couple's longtime housekeeper, Mrs. Trust is a thing slowly given, but over the course of a decade together, the two have forged an indissoluble bond. Mary Russell is used to dark secrets - her own and those of her famous partner and husband, Sherlock Holmes. Russell and Holmes have become one of modern literature's most beloved teams. King's best-selling Mary Russell-Sherlock Holmes series weaves rich historical detail and provocative themes with intriguing characters and enthralling suspense.
