About this audiobook
London, 1892. A retired magistrate is found dead in his locked bedchamber, his face frozen in terror. No weapon. No wound. No sign of forced entry. Only a melody heard through the walls at midnight — three nights running — and then silence.
When Miss Clara March brings the case to Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes discovers that someone has turned the old man's own house against him. Hidden in the walls, a device of extraordinary craftsmanship has been singing in the dark. The sleeping drops on the dressing table are not what they should be. And in a quiet workshop in Clerkenwell, a man who builds mechanical birds has been waiting — patiently, precisely — for a very long time.
What Holmes uncovers is not a ghost story but something far more unsettling: a murder designed with the care of a master artisan and driven by a grief that the law was never equipped to answer.
