Subject: [bksvol-discuss] missing books in the Mary Russell series
Hi all,
Background for anyone who doesn't know -- the Mary Russell series is a
bunch of historical mysteries by Laurie R. King. At the beginning of
the series Mary is a young girl who stumbles across Sherlock Holmes
near her isolated home. The books describe their growing friendship
and the mysteries they solve together. They're excellently written,
very erudite, thoughtful, and feminist, and full of historical detail.
Bookshare has the first three books, the fifth, and the sixth. There
are eight out now, so we're missing books four, seven, and eight.
Those titles are The Moor, The Game, and Locked Rooms, respectively. I
was hoping someone could acquire and scan these. I've pasted the
descriptions below, and I will happily validate, of course.
The Moor: A hound stalks Dartmoor by night, and Holmes calls Russell
to the side of an old man from his past, Sabine Baring-Gould, the
squire of Lew Trenchard.
The Game: This New York Times bestseller features the world's greatest
detective -- and her husband. Yes, Mary Russell and her partner,
Sherlock Holmes, are setting
off for the wilds of India, jousting with maharajas and British
spymasters alike as they search for a missing figure from an earlier
age of colonial spycraft.
In the early days of 1924 Russell and Holmes are given an urgent task
by his brother Mycroft: Find a British spy gone missing along India's
northwest frontier,
where men are dying and trouble is brewing. The spy's name? It is one
Holmes knows from his sojourn in India long ago; one Russell knows
from a book. It
is Kimball O'Hara, known to the world by the name Rudyard Kipling
called him, Kim.
Locked Rooms: Setting sail from their adventures in India during the
spring of 1924, Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes turn their faces
toward San Francisco. Russell knows
that the time has come to close up the house and business interests
she inherited on the death of her family, ten years before. Little
does she anticipate
the complexity of events her past is built upon, the layers of trust
and betrayal that are locked inside her memory. Only Holmes suspects
what lies therein--and
even he is not prepared for the danger that unfolds.
Thanks,
Shayla
