The hitherto untold story of Holmes embarking in 1911 on a year-long quest to the Holy Land and the Sinai Desert following a startling revelation about an enigmatic inscription found at an ancient Egyptian turquoise mine, in a bid to discover the origins of the world's first alphabet -- and thereby, of Western literacy itself. A case with no villain, or client, "Sherlock Holmes and the Mistress of History" is a must-read for fans of historical fiction, Holmesian adventures, and lovers of linguistic and archaeological puzzles.
"A fresh and clever take on the Holmes canon." - The Strand Magazine
"A polished, rich addition to the Holmesian canon [... ] Tone, character, and pacing shows real craftsmanship [... ] intellectually satisfying and emotionally warm -- a rare and enjoyable blend." Lily Cruz, CritiqueCircle.com
