About this audiobook

The Case of the Lion's Mane is a Sherlock Holmes adventure set during his retirement on the Sussex coast. When retired naval officer Captain Lionel Mercer dies mysteriously on the cliffs, uttering the words “The Lion’s Mane,” Holmes and Dr. Watson are drawn into a decades-old secret tied to a British expedition to the Ivory Coast in 1883. Their investigation uncovers stolen artifacts, suppressed murders, colonial corruption, and a conspiracy that has haunted the surviving participants for twenty years. As old enemies reappear and hidden witnesses emerge from the shadows, Holmes must unravel a web of deception stretching across continents before exposing the true culprit and bringing long-delayed justice into the light.
