'Literary Review'
Forced to flee England at the close of 1918, Sherlock Holmes and his nineteen-year-old apprentice Mary Russell enter Palestine under the auspices of Holmes' enigmatic brother, Mycroft. Their mission: to solve a series of murders, seemingly unrelated to the growing tensions among Jew, Moslem and Christian, that threaten the fragile peace.
Their pursuit of the killer leads them from desert gully to cliff-hung monasteries, through labyrinthine bazaars, verminous hovels – and into mortal danger. Finally, in the jewel-like city of Jerusalem, they will meet their adversary, a ruthless criminal whose lust for power could reduce the city's most ancient and sacred place to rubble and ignite this tinderbox of a land...
''Mary Russell combines the quirky intellect of her mentor with a modern modus operandi...a heroine to contend with''
