What is the connection between a murder in 1919 Stockholm and a drug ring in present-day India?
Sherlock Holmes is dead, but his legacy lives on in unexpected ways.
In stories spanning almost a century, in cities half a world away from each other, the magnifying glass of Sherlock Holmes appears just when there is a mystery to solve. But its appearance throws up other questions: who was John Watson? Was he really what he seemed to be? And how and why are his heirs involved in the mysteries?
Two Swedish and two Indian authors–Martin Widmark, Anushka Ravishankar, Katarina Genar and Bikram Ghosh–follow the journey of the magnifying glass of Sherlock Holmes in four gripping mystery stories.

Anushka Ravishankar

Anushka Ravishankar, often called the Indian Dr Suess, has been a pioneer in writing both nonsense in contemporary English in India and also picture books. Some of the earliest Indian picture books to be published internationally and win international awards were by her, such as Tiger on a Tree, Catch that Crocodile and Elephants Never Forget. She has gone on to collaborate with many international illustrators to create some extraordinary picture books.

More recently, her chapter books have also been much loved, such as Moin and the Monster and the Zain and Ana series. She is also the co-founder of the much acclaimed indie publishing house, Duckbill.
