The Apprenticeship of Sherlock Holmes

In 1870s Paris, long before meeting his Dr Watson, the young man who will one day become the world’s greatest detective finds himself plunged into a mystery that will change his life forever.

A brilliant man—C. Auguste Dupin—steps from the shadows. Destined to become his mentor. Soon to introduce him to a world of ghastly crime and seemingly inexplicable horrors.

• The spectral tormentor that is being called, in hushed tones, The Phantom of the Opera . . .
• The sinister old man who visits corpses in the Paris morgue . . .
• An incarcerated lunatic who insists she is visited by creatures from the Moon . . .
• A hunchback discovered in the bell tower of Notre Dame . . .
• And—perhaps most shocking of all—the awful secret Dupin himself hides from the world.

Tales of Mystery, Imagination, and Terror

Investigated in the company of the darkest master of all.
