A deadly mystery in the heart of Shanghai ensnares young Sherlock Holmes.
Kidnapped and taken to China, teenage Sherlock finds himself plunged into a web of intrigue. Three men in different parts of Shanghai have been bitten by the same poisonous snake. Who wants them dead, and why? The answers seem to lie in a message hidden in a diagram that looks like a spider's web. But solving one puzzle only leads to an even more urgent question: What has all this got to do with a plot to blow up an American warship? To unravel the strands that entangle him, Sherlock must brave terrors greater than any he has faced before. Snake Bite is a thrilling addition to the Young Sherlock Holmes series that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.

      Gr 6-9-This latest in Lane's series about teenage Sherlock Holmes (the only one to be authorized by the estate of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) picks up where Fire Storm (Farrar, 2013) ended, with Sherlock kidnapped and set on a ship to China. The teen must solve a mystery involving unexplained snake bites in Shanghai and uncover a plot to destroy an American warship, which could have dire international consequences. Another gripping installment in the series SLJ previously called "satisfying and engrossing."
