Anthony Horowitz reads from House of Silk.

So here is a somewhat melancholy Dr. John Watson missing his famous literary subject and deciding now is the time to write up that so dangerous case he’s kept mum for years. It begins when a frightened London art dealer in old masters come to 221B Baker Street and recounts a sale and terrible events that played out in America-Boston-and now have followed him to England. Or that’s how it starts… Written with the stamp of the Conan Doyle Estate by the author of Alex Rider and various fabulous TV gems like Foyle’s War, this tale draws in Mycroft, Moriarity, Watson’s wife Mary, Mrs. Hudson, Lestrade, and other beloved figures in the canon.
