Fiction can not possibly get better than this. Mary Russell just happens to be married to Sherlock Holmes and en route to bustling San Francusco to settle her family's estate. But as they get closer to port, Mary falls prey to utroubling dreams and irrational behavior. In 1906 when Mary was six, the city was devastated by an earthquake. For years, Mary has insisted she lived elsewhere at the time. But Holmes knows better. It's clear that whatever unpleasantness Mary has forgotten, it hasn't forgotten her. A series of mysterious deaths leads Russell and Holmes from the winding streets of Chinatown to the unspoken secrets of a parent's marriage and the tragic accident that Mary alone survived. What Russell dscovers is that even a forgotten past never dies ... and it can kill again."
