Enola Holmes is the much younger sister of her more famous brothers, Sherlock and Mycroft. But she has all the wits, skills, and sleuthing inclinations of them both. At fifteen, she's an independent young woman--after all, her name spelled backwards reads 'alone'--and living on her own in London. When a young professional woman, Miss Letitia Glover, shows up on Sherlock's doorstep, desperate to learn more about the fate of her twin sister, it is Enola who steps up. It seems her sister, the former Felicity Glover, married the Earl of Dunhench and per a curt note from the Earl, has died. But Letitia Glover is convinced this isn't the truth, that she'd know--she'd feel--if her twin had died.
The Earl's note is suspiciously vague and the death certificate is even more dubious, signed it seems by a John H. Watson, M.D. (who denies any knowledge of such). The only way forward is for Enola to go undercover--or so Enola decides at the vehement objection of her brother. And she soon finds out that this is not the first of the Earl's wives to die suddenly and vaguely--and that the secret to the fate of the missing Felicity is tied to a mysterious black barouche that arrived at the Earl's home in the middle of the night. To uncover the secrets held tightly within the Earl's hall, Enola is going to require help--from Sherlock, from the twin sister of the missing woman, and from an old friend, the young Viscount Tewkesbury, Marquess of Basilwether!

Everyone knows Dr. Watson is Sherlock Holmes' right-hand man—so when he goes missing, it's a shock. Even Sherlock hasn't, well, the slightest clue as to where he could be. Enola is intrigued, but wary; she's still hiding from her older brothers—and getting involved could be disastrous.
But when a bizarre bouquet shows up at the Watson residence, full of convolvulus, hawthorn, and white poppies, Enola must act. She dons her most discerning disguise yet to find the sender—and quickly, for Enola knows the blossoms symbolize death!
Hold your breath, because Enola's about to take it away. The stakes are higher and the mystery deeper than ever before in this third installment of this Edgar Award-nominated, critically acclaimed series.

亞瑟王與同母異父姊姊摩高絲生下了禁忌之子──莫桀；梅林更預言這個孩子未來將弒父，並毀滅亞瑟王建立的卡美洛王朝。因此亞瑟王下了一道命令：在當月出生的嬰兒全數放逐海上，任其淹死。
然而又是命運的作弄？莫桀奇蹟般存活下來，由海邊窮苦的漁民夫婦視為己出，撫養長大。但是仙境亞法隆的代表妮妮微與魔女摩根同時找上了他，從此展開他多舛的一生，將他重新推入命運之網。
妮妮微引導他往光明正面的方向走；梅林與摩根儘管立場對立，卻不約而同強化了命運的作用，拉扯他屈服於內心由於被親生父親賜死、被預言命定而萌生的黑暗陰影。
最後，莫桀如何走上註定的毀滅之路？父子之間的糾結能有化解之時嗎？
正統的亞瑟王傳奇中，莫桀與摩根一直是與高尚光明的亞瑟王與梅林對立的邪惡力量。然而經過世代更迭，價值觀的演變，亞瑟王所代表的基督教精神，在傳教與征服的過程中就一定是正直正義的一方嗎？本書作者南西．史賓格的精湛文筆，寫活了莫桀這位悲劇人物自我掙扎的心路歷程，完美承接希臘神話中伊底帕斯等悲劇英雄的精神。
善意為何反而導致惡果？命運與自我意志的拔河，何時終結？

本書特色
．南西．史賓格說：「孩童生而性善？依據中世紀的世界觀，並非如此。一名出身不正（例如非婚生）的孩子可能一開始就被視為性惡。年輕的亞瑟王誤與姐姐發生關係，誕下的孩子理所當然本性邪惡。國王的兒子兼外甥？真是駭人聽聞。莫桀生而有罪，遠在尚未犯下弒父之行時，就已被判定弒父之罪。
「以現代觀點切入傳統的亞瑟王傳奇，將莫桀描寫成生而性善，愛在海邊奔跑，喜歡騎馬，與別的孩童一樣好心腸──這很迷人。本書貫串莫桀成長的傷痛呈現了全新的視野。
「一個孤獨敏感的孩子是如何變成弒父兇手？在撰寫本書時，我發現『自我實現的預言』的全新涵義。雖然莫桀的故事發生在卡美洛，寫作時我卻想到被視為罪惡、被剝奪受教權的現代青少年，當我把書提獻給『所有的怪人』時，我想到的是一般的年輕人。」

Enola joins forces with the much older famous brother Sherlock who she has fought desperately to elude, and risks her own freedom to rescue her friend.

Enola's name backwards spells "alone," and alone she is, in the world's biggest, darkest, dirtiest city. She is being hunted down by the world's most famous detective - her own brother, Sherlock Holmes. For the sake of freedom she must elude him, but what can she do to ease her loneliness?

When she discovers a hidden cache of brilliant charcoal drawings, she feels as if she's a soul mate to the girl who drew them - but that girl, young Lady Cecily, has disappeared without a trace. Braving midnight streets where murderers roam, Enola must unravel the clues - a leaning ladder, a shifty-eyed sales clerk, political pamphlets - to find the left-handed lady, but in order to save Lady Cecily from a powerful villain, Enola risks revealing more than she should. Will her own lonely heart betray her?

In this second installment of the acclaimed Enola Holmes Mysteries, two-time Edgar Award winner Nancy Springer brings us all the danger and intrigue of Victorian London as she continues the adventures of one of the wittiest and most exciting new heroines in today's literature.
