Description

In the literary and film world, no hero is more popular than Sherlock Holmes. This name became a sensation in the 1890s thanks to publications in the magazine “Strand,” whose print run immediately grew by a third. By the number of screen adaptations, the story of the detective from Baker Street made it into the Guinness Book of Records. As for the sheer number of literary pastiches, there’s no need to even mention it—but official approval from the Conan Doyle Heritage Fund was given only to Anthony Horowitz for his novel “The House of Silk.”

In the career of the great sleuth, there was a case involving such monstrous and scandalous events that it was not soon that Watson—the constant narrator of the most fascinating stories of his brilliant friend—decided to write about it. He carefully packed these notes, sent them away to be stored in a safe place, and ordered them not to be opened until no sooner than a hundred years later, because the secret hidden in them, titled “The House of Silk,” threatened to undermine the very foundations of society…

Three years after the publication of “The House of Silk,” Anthony Horowitz returned to the world of the great detective.
