About this audiobook

The London Borough of Hackney is run by the crime syndicate Bai Ze. One night an expensive horse carriage arrives at their headquarters. Behind the carriage is the leader of the Bai Ze, Mr.Quin, hanging at the end of a bloody rope. The journey here has stripped him of his clothes and shredded most his skin off him. He rasps one final word to his second in command: 'Mogwai'. It's the Cantonese word for the devil. In London the normal order of the criminal syndicates has been broken and a new dangerous villain is playing to win the entire game. It is also ruining the business of the Bohemia - the secret underworld club. The members are being killed and club owner, Irene Adler, must seek the help of the only person who can solve these mysterious murders - her strange friend, Sherlock Holmes. Somewhere at the other end of all these murders lies the truth about Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty. Listen to the third instalment of the Becoming Sherlock series. What listeners have said: - 'Fantastic story. Excellent narration. Narrator made the story very real. Story and plot twisters excellent. Sherlock Holmes and Watson relive!' - 'Fascinating story Really enjoyed the third instalment of Becoming Sherlock. Very original and captivating. Hope there's another book in the offing.' - 'Brilliant Clever story and a pitch perfect narration which leads the listener through the streets of London's dark future in the company of compelling and believable characters. Looking forward to the next chapter!' - 'Highly recommend I found this series as I am fan of anything by Anthony Horowitz who is listed as a co author on book one. It's fast become one of my favourite audiobook series with such a clever & enthralling take on the world of Sherlock Holmes and a future somewhat dystopian London. The narration is one of the best I've ever heard, possibly even better than the great Stephen Fry. All the characters voices are authentic and different , not one annoying . Superb cannot wait for the next instalment' - 'Brilliant reimagining Pitch perfect narration in a fantastic reimagining of well loved characters. I hope there are more instalments' - 'Wonderful!! The Becoming Sherlock series is ruddy amazing! Wonderfully imaginative, beautifully written and perfectly performed. They really, really need to be made into a telly series. Just brilliant and I'm waiting for No.4 with bated breath. - 'The Magician The making of Sherlock. A seamless continuation of the previous books. Containing the character and intrigue that this novel presents. I recommend it as another great read.' - 'Sherlock and John live on! As a big fan of anything Sherlock Holmes related (the Conan Doyle originals, the TV series, and Anthony Horowitz's House of Silk etc ) I was a little skeptical about this new series, especially as it's set in the future. But I am LOVING them - all three so far have been great. Gripping storylines, superb narration. I can't wait for the next one!'
