On their way back to Britain from India, Holmes and Russell stop at Russell's childhood home in San Francisco. Holmes and Russell team up with a former Pinkerton agent Dashiell Hammett, several residents of Chinatown, and a cast of irregulars to solve the mystery that has plagued Mary for ten years. A puzzling codicil to the Russells' will, a break-in at the family house, and a failed attempt on Mary's life quickly draw Holmes and eventually Mary into an investigation of the real cause of her parents' death. Throughout her adolescence and adulthood, Mary has blamed herself for the family's fatal automobile accident. Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes sail to San Francisco to close up the house and businesses that Mary inherited after her family's death. The events of the novel follow directly that of The Game. The books alternate between the familiar Mary Russell first-person narrative and a third-person narrator following Sherlock Holmes. Unlike King's previous Mary Russell novels, Locked Rooms is split into 5 separate "books". Locked Rooms is the eighth book in the Mary Russell series by Laurie R. The reader sympathises with sorrowful Jake, the more emotionally engaged boy. And then we hear from Jake, terrified, remorseful: ‘We killed him’. Then Alex enters the scene and something about his attitude is off he’s keeping his cool while around him everyone else is losing theirs. Tension is high from the start as we meet Ellie, girlfriend of one of the boys, who hints at the seriousness of what has occurred, how her own life is different by association. This tale of two boys whose lives undergo dramatic, slow-burning change in the months following a split-second decision is an excellent read for teenagers. Nova Weetman had one such reason and in Everything Is Changed theme and structure are perfectly complemented. There are many ways to tell a story, but reverse chronology must be one of the least common – there has to be a good reason for writing a story backwards. “How can I tell a story we already know too well? Her name was Africa. And when everything else is gone, you can be rich in loss.” Of course to forget the past is to lose the sense of loss that is also memory of an absent richness and a set of clues to navigate the present by the art is not one of forgetting but letting go. It peels off like skin from a molting snake. The material falls away in onrushing experience. The wind blows your hair back and you are greeted by what you have never seen before. Looking forward you constantly acquire moments of arrival, moments of realization, moments of discovery. This is what the view looks like if you take a rear-facing seat on the train. Imagine yourself streaming through time shedding gloves, umbrellas, wrenches, books, friends, homes, names. Or you get lost, in which case the world has become larger than your knowledge of it. Everything is familiar except that there is one item less, one missing element. There are objects and people that disappear from your sight or knowledge or possession you lose a bracelet, a friend, the key. Losing things is about the familiar falling away, getting lost is about the unfamiliar appearing. That's how long Coyote and her dad, Rodeo, have lived on the road in an old school bus, criss-crossing the nation.
