MRS HUDSON AND THE MALABAR ROSE

Book ID/图书代码： 12691015B85023

English Summary/英文概要： Dangerous magicians! Precious gems! Dastardly Plans! Sherlock Holmes is just the man...But what if Holmes isn’t the only brains at Baker Street? As snow falls on Baker Street, the wintry city is abuzz with rumour and excitement: the Malabar Rose – a fabled and frankly enormous ruby – has been sent as a gift to Her Majesty Queen Victoria by the Marharajah of Marjoudh. An extraordinary condition is attached to the gift, though: the gem must be displayed at London’s sumptuous Blenheim Hotel to be admired by all. How can the safety of this priceless jewel be assured? The authorities wisely enlist the help of Sherlock Holmes and his colleague Dr Watson… but fortunately for them, they are also on the receiving end of help from Holmes’s redoubtable housekeeper Mrs Hudson and her able assistant, Flotsam the housemaid. The Malabar Rose isn’t the only exotic attraction stirring up excitement in the city, however. World famous magician the Great Salmanazar will be amazing the lucky few who can secure tickets at a once-in-a-lifetime spectacular. Not only that, but the world’s most beautiful woman – the glamorous, if rather risqué, fire dancer Lola Del Fuego – will be joining him on the bill. With all this excitement and the peculiar case of a disappearance in Ealing, Mrs Hudson and Flottie have their hands full this festive season. Their investigations take in snow-shrouded streets on Christmas night, a toyshop full of wonders, a tumultuous Covent Garden as the New Year rings in and even theatre dressing rooms in Stepney. This fresh twist on classic Victorian mystery will delight fans and new readers alike.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 危险的魔术师！珍贵的宝石！卑鄙的计划！夏洛克福尔摩斯才是……的人。但如果说福尔摩斯并非贝克街唯一有头脑的人呢？

贝克街开始下雪，城市里谣言四起，人们激动万分：传说中的巨大宝石——马拉巴尔玫瑰将被先给维多利亚女王。但这是有条件的：宝石必须在伦敦华丽的布伦海姆酒店进行展出，供所有人欣赏。应该如何确保这颗无价珍宝的安全呢？当局非常明智地请福尔摩斯和华生医生来帮忙，而幸运的是，他们也得到了福尔摩斯的管家哈德森太太和助手Flotsam的帮助。而马拉巴尔玫瑰并非这座城市中唯一激起涟漪的异国珍宝。Great Salmanazar也将到此进行表演，只有少数幸运儿才能一睹他的风采。而全球最美丽的女人，火焰舞蹈家Lola Del Fuego也将与他一起表演。这可让哈德森太太和小助手忙坏了。她们开始在各个地方开展调查……这部新鲜、曲折的经典维多利亚时期神秘小说定能让广大福尔摩斯拥趸和其他新读者满意。（LYR）
