Description
The latest adventure for the intrepid Mary Russell and her husband, Sherlock Holmes, takes readers into the frenetic world of silent films, where the pirates are real and the shooting isn't all done with cameras.
In England's young silent-film industry, the megalomaniacal Randolph Fflytte is king. Nevertheless, Mary Russell is dispatched to investigate the criminal activities that surround Fflytte's popular movie studio. So Russell is travelling undercover to Portugal, along with the film crew that is gearing up to shoot a cinematic extravaganza, Pirate King. But as movie make-believe becomes true terror, Russell and Holmes themselves may experience a final fadeout.
