Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes are back, fleeing from criminals, shady government officials, and Scotland Yard while trying to keep their charges alive and safe. Using The Times Agony column to communicate with each other, they attempt to establish a link with Mycroft Holmes, an intelligence operative for England, and find that Mycroft Homes has been taken in for questioning by Inspector Lestrade and warrants are out for the arrest of Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes. Fleeing with her granddaughter, Estelle, Mary reestablishes contact with the pilot, Javitz, whom you meet at the end of The Language of Bees. They board the plane and while in the air narrowly escape assassins. Javitz, unfortunately, is shot while flying the plane and they make an unscheduled crash landing on an estate where they are taken in by an unlikely hermit.
Sherlock Holmes fleeing with his newly found son, Damian Adler, gets assistance from the sea and charters a boat to Holland. Damian Adler, wounded by a religious fanatic who wanted to kidnap his daughter, Estelle, is a well known artist and the son of Irene Adler, with whom Sherlock Holmes once had a liaison.
The God of the Hive takes up where The Language of Bees ended in August 1924. Suspenseful with plenty of action, read the books in order for a satisfying conclusion to this 2 part series. Read more about Laurie R. King here:
