by Andrew Lane
So, there we are. Maybe I’ll get the chance to talk to you again, or maybe Sherlock will be left here, desperately worrying about the fate of his father. Who knows?
I hope we talk again.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Andrew Lane is the author of the bestselling Young Sherlock series and of Lost Worlds. Young Sherlock has been published around the world and is available in thirty-seven different languages. Not only is Andrew a lifelong fan of Arthur Conan Doyle’s great detective, he is also an expert on the books and is the only children’s writer endorsed by the Sherlock Holmes Conan Doyle estate. Andrew writes other things too, including adult thrillers (under a pseudonym), TV adaptations (including Doctor Who) and non-fiction books (about things as wide-ranging as James Bond and Wallace & Gromit). He lives in Dorset with his wife and son and a vast collection of Sherlock Holmes books, the first of which he found in a jumble sale over forty years ago.
