In 1915,Sherlock Holmes is retired and quietly engaged in the study of honeybees when a young woman literally stumbles into him on the Sussex Downs. Fifteen years old,gawky,egotistical,and recently orphaned,the young Mary Russell displays an intellect to impress even Sherlock Holmes-and match him wit for wit. Under his reluctant tutelage,this very modern twentieth-century woman proves a deft protégée and a fitting partner for the Victorian detective. But even in their first case together,the pair face a truly cunning adversary who will stop at nothing to put an end to their partnership.
