Description
** Young Sherlock is the inspiration for the Amazon Prime Series directed by Guy Ritchie**
Red Leech, is the second in the Young Sherlock Holmes series in which the iconic detective is reimagined as a brilliant, troubled and engaging teenager - creating unputdownable mystery adventures that remain true to the spirit of Arthur Conan Doyle's original books.
Sherlock Holmes knows that Amyus Crowe, his mysterious American tutor, has some dark secrets. But he didn't expect to find a notorious killer, hanged by the US government, apparently alive and well in Surrey - and Crowe somehow mixed up in it. When no one will tell you the truth, sometimes you have to risk all to discover it for yourself.
And so begins an adventure that will take Sherlock across the ocean to America, to the centre of a deadly web - where life and death are cheap, and truth has a price no sane person would pay . . .
Sherlock Holmes. Think you know him? Think again.
Continue the investigative adventures with Andrew Lane's Black Ice and Fire Storm.

Andrew Lane is an author, journalist and lifelong Sherlock Holmes fan. He lives in Hampshire with his wife and son. Before Moriarty and before Benedict Cumberbatch, Andrew's passion for the original novels of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his determination to create an authentic teenage Sherlock Holmes made him the perfect choice to reinvent the world's most famous detective for the Young Sherlock Holmes series.
