Publisher's summary

England's largest gunpowder factory has exploded. Now Sherlock and Lucy must prevent a second disaster.

When a dawn blast demolishes the Rexford Gunpowder works, four hundred workers lose their jobs and a 60-year-old custodian loses his life. Holmes's police ally, Inspector Gregson, thinks the disaster is no accident. But when he can't identify the killer, the case is referred to the Home Office and he's demoted, assigned to patrol the mean streets of Whitechapel. Holmes and the Baker Street team want to help. But they have no official standing.

Then, after nine months of rebuilding and with the Rexford Works about to reopen, Rexford himself comes to plead for Holmes's assistance. He's just received an anonymous note warning of another blast. The business is about to go public on the stock exchange, and another disruption would ruin him and his family. Holmes takes the case, but Flynn receives information that Rexford may not be the respectable industrialist that he appears. And in Whitechapel, when Lucy tries to get information about the factory case from Gregson, she finds him nearly dead from a mob attack.

With four hundred livelihoods on the line, the Baker Street team will need all their courage and skill to keep this case from blowing up in their faces.

Fans of Conan Doyle's nostalgia, Agatha Christie's plots, and Lee Child's heart-pounding suspense will love "Powder Island."
