Enola Holmes and the Mark of the Mongoose by Nancy Springer (Enola Holmes #9)
English | 2023 | Mystery & Thriller
Enola Holmes, Sherlock’s much younger and feistier sister, returns in this new and final adventure in the internationally bestselling series and breakout Netflix sensation.
In May 1890, Enola Holmes is finally independent and, no longer hiding from her older brothers Sherlock and Mycroft, occasionally pursuing her chosen profession as a scientific perditorian – a finder of lost things and people.
Wolcott Balestier, the representative of an American book publisher, arrived in London on a singular mission – to contract with English authors for their latest works. When Balestier disappears on the streets of London one day, his great friend Rudyard Kipling bursts into Enola’s office looking for help. Brash and unwilling to hire a young woman, instead he turns to Sherlock Holmes. Convinced that evil has befallen Balestier at the hands of the ‘book pirates’, he sets the elder Holmes on the trail. But Enola is not one to accept defeat, especially not to her brother, and sets off on her own.
Can book publishing truly be so ruthless and deadly, or can the missing man be rescued from his apparent fate and returned to his friends and loved ones?
The redoubtable is determined to do just that, even if it means working with her brother Sherlock!
