Snake Bite

Crack the case with the world's most famous detective! But before he became the great detective, who was young Sherlock Holmes? The fifth book in a series of mystery adventures featuring a teenage Sherlock and endorsed by the Conan Doyle Estate.

Snake Bite is the fifth in the Young Sherlock Holmes series in which the iconic detective is reimagined as a brilliant, troubled and engaging teenager - creating unputdownable detective adventures that remain true to the spirit of the original books.

Kidnapped and taken to China, Sherlock finds himself plunged into adventure. How can three men be bitten by the same poisonous snake in different parts of Shanghai? Who wants them dead, and why? The answer seems to lie in a message hidden in a diagram that looks like a spider's web. But solving it leads to an even more urgent question: what has all this got to do with a plot to blow up an American warship? Sherlock is about to brave terrors greater than any he has faced before . . .

Sherlock Holmes. Think you know him? Think again.
