Enola Holmes, who has run away from home in search of her father, is hiding from the world's most famous detective - her brother, Sherlock Holmes.
But when she accidentally discovers a stack of mysterious charcoal drawings, she can't help but be determined to find the author of these bold, honest drawings - Lady Cecily, who has disappeared from her room without a trace.
Enola heads to the dark streets of midnight London, where murderers and swindlers are prowling. She will have to decipher the mysterious clues - a ladder leaning against a window, a salesman with a suspicious look, strange political pamphlets ... But to save Lady Cecily, Enola may have to reveal more than she wants.
This is the second book in the series "The Strange Adventures of Enola Holmes" by Nancy Springer.
We return to a dark and dangerous Victorian London, where the smartest and most intelligent detective is a girl who is not afraid of anything.
