A Monstrous Regiment of Women: A Novel of Suspense Featuring Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes
InThe Beekeeper's Apprentice, Laurie R. King came up with a completely original story that had Sherlock Holmes as one of its principal characters but was in no way part of the Holmes canon.  The focus of that book was a young woman, Mary Russell.  Now inA Monstrous Regiment of Women, Mary Russell's adventures as a student of the famous detective continue.  A series of  murders claims members of a strange suffrage organization's wealthy young female volunteers, and Mary, with Holmes in the background,  investigates, little knowing what danger she personally faces.Laurie R. King is also the author of the Edgar Award-winning novelA Grave Talent.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
