Young Sherlock is the inspiration for the Amazon Prime Series directed by Guy Ritchie.

Death Cloud is the first in the Young Sherlock Holmes series in which the iconic detective is reimagined as a brilliant, troubled and curious teenager. It offers unputdownable mystery adventures that remain true to the spirit of Arthur Conan Doyle's original books.

The year is 1868, and Sherlock Holmes is fourteen. His life is that of a perfectly ordinary army officer's son: boarding school, good manners, a classical education—the backbone of the British Empire. But all that is about to change. With his father suddenly posted to India, and his mother mysteriously 'unwell', Sherlock is sent to stay with his eccentric uncle and aunt in their vast house in Hampshire.

So begins a summer that leads Sherlock to uncover his first murder, a kidnap, corruption, and a brilliantly sinister villain of exquisitely malign intent...

Sherlock Holmes. Think you know him? Think again.

Continue the investigative adventures with Andrew Lane's Red Leech and Black Ice.

About the Author

Andrew Lane is an author, journalist and lifelong Sherlock Holmes fan. He lives in Hampshire with his wife and son. Before Moriarty and before Benedict Cumberbatch, Andrew's passion for the original novels of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his determination to create an authentic teenage Sherlock Holmes made him the perfect choice to work with the Conan Doyle Estate to reinvent the world's most famous detective for the Young Sherlock Holmes series.
