Overview

World-famous violinist Maximilian Cortado has disappeared, the only clue being the unexpected delivery of a basket containing a live hen. When other prominent Londoners receive similarly mysterious fowl, the deliveries take a sinister turn.

Meanwhile, Sherlock Holmes is distracted by the vandalism of Christmas trees in Sussex. So when a twenty-three-year-old robbery demands investigation, Mrs Hudson steps in. The Christmas Canary, a priceless gold ornament, vanished from Frawling Hall. Can Mrs Hudson uncover the truth and return the canary to its perch before it is too late?

Reimagining the world of Conan Doyle with warmth, wit and ingenuity, the Holmes & Hudson series uncovers the stories Watson neglected to tell.
