An improbable call for help from River Song draws the Doctor and Amy to the wreck of the starship Byzantium on the world of Alfava Metraxis. The wreck contains a deadly cargo – a Weeping Angel, determined to escape. And the starship’s crash site, infringing on a sprawling subterranean tomb, is no coincidence. 
 
In uneasy alliance with a squad of military clerics, the Doctor’s investigation becomes a desperate battle to survive as an army of implacable, quantum-locked killers grows ever stronger – and flesh becomes stone.

Great Expectations

Arthur Conan Doyle

The hit BBC series Sherlock, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, offers a fresh, contemporary take on the classic Arthur Conan Doyle stories, and has helped introduce a whole new generation of fans to the legendary detective. The debut episode took as its inspiration the very first Sherlock Holmes novel, A Study in Scarlet - and this edition of Conan Doyle's novel will allow Sherlock fans to discover, or re-discover, the power of that classic story. 
 
A Study in Scarlet is the genre-defining work with which popular crime fiction was born. A potent mix of serial murder, suspense, cryptic clues, red herrings and revenge, the novel introduces us to the world-famous characters of Sherlock Holmes, Dr Watson and Inspector Lestrade and sees Sherlock and Dr Watson meet and join forces for the first time as they track a mysterious killer that stalks London's streets. 
 
In addition to the original text, this edition also has an introduction by Sherlock co-creator Steven Moffat, who explains how it inspired the Sherlock script.
