Mrs Hudson and the Spirits' Curse

An evil stalks London, blown in from the tropics. Stories of cursed giant rats and malign spirits haunt the garrets of the East London neighborhood of Limehouse. A group of merchants are dying one by one. The elementary choice to investigate these mysterious deaths is, of course, the team of Holmes and Dr. Watson. But the unique gifts of their housekeeper, Mrs. Hudson, and her orphaned assistant Flotsam, will also be needed to solve the case. Can she do it all under the nose of Sherlock himself?



Martin Davies is the author of twelve novels, including international bestseller The Conjuror's Bird which was a Richard and Judy Book Club selection and Havana Sleeping which was shortlisted for an Historical Dagger award by the Crime Writers' Association. The Holmes & Hudson series was begun when Martin was at a loss for a suitable birthday gift for his father, an inspired teller of stories, who first introduced him to the household on Baker Street.
