Anyone with a sense of adventure and an enquiring mind will enjoy the puzzles and questions that the likeable young Sherlock Holmes sets out to resolve. Young Sherlock determines to get to the bottom of the secrets that the adults around him seem to be keeping. With no one giving him the answers he seeks, Young Sherlock takes off for America and finds himself at the heart of a terrifying and intriguing mystery.
Sherlock knows that Amyus Crow, 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 Crow somehow mixed up in it. When no one will tell you the truth, sometimes you have to risk all to discover it for yourself.
