Description:

In Victorian England, a lady's fan was never just a fan — its position, movement, and folds formed a secret language all of their own. So when Enola Holmes spots her friend Lady Cecily across a crowded London street, fan raised in a coded plea for help, she knows immediately that something is terribly wrong. Tracking down the clues scattered across the city, Enola uncovers a shocking truth: Cecily is being held prisoner, forced by her own family into a miserable arranged marriage. But saving her friend means doing the one thing Enola has fought hardest to avoid — joining forces with her famous brother Sherlock, and risking her own hard-won freedom in the process. Can she trust him? And will they reach Cecily in time? The fourth instalment of Nancy Springer's beloved series delivers orphans, secret codes, fan language, and the series' most thrilling sibling team-up yet.
