Bonnie MacBird is passionate about Victorian London and Sherlock Holmes. She lives in an 1890 building right off Baker Street, and fell in love with Holmes as a schoolgirl in her native California. After many years in the entertainment industry as a film executive, Emmy winning producer and screenwriter, she now writes the critically acclaimed Sherlock Holmes Adventure Series for HarperCollins, bringing the much loved detective back, traditional style, in full-length adventures. Meticulous research, a flair for deductions and a decided sense of humour have turned these into fan favourites. ART IN THE BLOOD was translated into twenty languages and was followed by UNQUIET SPIRITS and THE DEVIL’S DUE.
<p>“MacBird’s artistry will keep readers eagerly turning the pages.”<br />—Michael Dirda, <em>Washington Post</em></p> <p>“Intriguing … MacBird artfully alternates among multiple plotlines, maximizing suspense.
