Old lies, new threats. The chickens have come home to
roost...December in London, and Maximilian Cortado, the world
famous violinist, has disappeared, the only clue being the
unexpected delivery to his townhouse of a basket containing a live
hen. When it emerges that a number of other notable members of
society have been receiving similarly unexplained fowl, the
deliveries begin to appear more sinister. Sherlock Holmes, however,
seems more intrigued by a trivial incident in Sussex, where someone
has been damaging Christmas trees intended for a local stately
home. So when he is asked by the wife of a famous artist to
investigate a robbery carried out twenty-three years before, Mrs
Hudson sees an opportunity to assist. At the centre of that mystery
is the Christmas Canary, a solid gold decoration of mesmerising
beauty, hand-crafted for the fifth Lord Empingham. For years it had
graced the top of the Christmas tree at Frawling Hall - until its
mystifying disappearance broke the seventh Lord's heart. Fowl deeds
are afoot, but can Mrs Hudson restore the canary to its perch
before it's too late? A wonderfully evocative caper based in the
legend of Sherlock Holmes, perfect for fans of M. R. C. Kasasian
and M. C. Beaton.
