Sherlock Holmes - The Ghost of Pera (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798235262317)

1893, Istanbul. A scream echoing through the dim corridors of the Pera Palace summons Sherlock Holmes and his loyal friend Dr. John Watson to the most magical and most uncanny city of the East. A young archaeologist is found dead in the dark streets of the Tunnel district, clutching an ancient parchment adorned with the figure of a serpent devouring its own tail. The police call it a simple robbery, but Holmes immediately senses that behind this death lies a far more ancient and far darker secret.

As the investigation deepens, Holmes and Watson find themselves in the labyrinths beneath Istanbul, feeling the breath of a being that has slept for centuries. The Seven Seals, the Tear Well, the Ghost of Pera, and the Serpent Brotherhood... every clue draws them deeper into the darkness. For this time, the matter is not merely a murder - the fate of an entire city, indeed of the whole world, hangs in the balance.

From Jason Sun comes a breathtaking adventure in homage to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary characters. The Ghost of Pera weaves a tale between the dusty pages of history and the darkest recesses of the human soul - a page-turner you will not be able to put down. Approximately 68.500 words.
