Gr 6–9—This latest in Lane's series about teenage Sherlock Holmes (the only one to be authorized by the estate of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) picks up where Fire Storm (Farrar, 2013) ended, with Sherlock kidnapped and set on a ship to China. The teen must solve a mystery involving unexplained snake bites in Shanghai and uncover a plot to destroy an American warship, which could have dire international consequences. Another gripping installment in the series SLJ previously called "satisfying and engrossing."
The riveting series continues with teenage Sherlock Holmes, abducted in the previous installment, now headed to China. In Shanghai, he is thrust into solving deadly puzzles with international implications, including inexplicable poisonous snake bites on different victims, hidden messages, and a plot to detonate an American warship. A gripping and gratifying fifth volume for fans of the iconic sleuth.
