Its the seoond day of the new year, 1924 and Mary Russell is settling in for a much needed rest with her husband, Sherlock Holmes. But a visit from Holmes's brother Mycroft brings news of an intrique that is sure to halt their respite. Mycroft has news of border espionage in India and Russell soon learns that in that faraway place it's often impossible to tell friend from foe - and that some games must be played out until their deadly end.

This is an intelligent, witty complex story, according to the Washington Post.
