Before the cases. Before the fame. Before she met Sherlock Holmes--Mary Russell was already extraordinary.
Mary Russell's War invites readers behind the scenes of Laurie R. King's bestselling historical mystery series in a deeply moving collection of untold stories, emotional revelations, and sharp surprises. From the trenches of World War I to the quiet reckonings of old age, these narratives--including a never-before-published Sherlock Holmes mystery--reveal the hidden depths of one of literature's most beloved sleuths.
From a wartime diary chronicling Mary's fierce adolescence to Holmes's own perspective on their fateful meeting, these tales spotlight Mrs. Hudson's hidden past, Uncle Jake's high-stakes secrets, and Russell's poignant reflections at ninety-two--crafting a vivid, emotionally layered journey through love, loss, and legacy for first-time readers and lifelong fans alike.
Perfect for lovers of historical mysteries, literary sleuths, and character-driven fiction, Mary Russell's War is more than a short story collection--it's a testament to resilience, memory, and the enduring power of story.
Praise for Mary Russell's War:
The great marvel of King's series is that she's managed to preserve the integrity of Holmes's character and yet somehow conjure up a woman astute, edgy, and compelling enough to be the partner of his mind as well as his heart. -- The Washington Post Book World
Erudite, fascinating . . . by all odds the most successful re-creation of the famous inhabitant of 221B Baker Street ever attempted. -- Houston Chronicle
