Description:

Enola Holmes is still on the run. Operating in the shadows of Victorian London under a string of clever disguises — including the alias Miss Ivy Meshle, secretary — she is determined to keep her hard-won freedom, even as her famous brother Sherlock hunts for her across the city's darkest streets. Enola's name spells "alone" backwards, and alone she remains. But when she stumbles upon a hidden collection of striking charcoal drawings, she feels an instant, inexplicable connection to the girl who made them — the aristocratic Lady Cecily, who has now mysteriously vanished. Following clues through fog-thick alleyways and past suspicious strangers, Enola races to unravel the mystery — knowing that to save Lady Cecily, she may have to risk everything, including her own carefully guarded identity. The second thrilling instalment of Nancy Springer's Edgar Award-winning series is every bit as witty, atmospheric, and compulsively readable as the first.
