The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax
A race through Europe to rescue a vanished heiress from a cunning predator.
About this book
When the quietly respectable Lady Frances Carfax disappears during a modest European journey, whispers of scandal and danger ripple from drawing rooms to fogged porticoes. Desperate friends appeal to Sherlock Holmes—yet it is Dr. Watson who steers much of the investigation through a trail of small clues, odd acquaintances, and hints of a carefully rehearsed deception. Doyle weaves a taut, atmospheric tale of travel and menace where class, intrigue and vulnerability collide; the stakes feel intimate and urgent as hidden motives creep into plain sight. Ideal for readers who relish brisk deduction, suspenseful pacing, and the shrewd interplay between intellect and empathy.
