At the close of the year 1918, forced to flee England by attempts on his life by persons unknown, Sherlock Holmes and his apprentice Mary Russell enter British-occupied Palestine. A rash of murders there seems unrelated to the growing tensions among Jew, Moslem, and Christian, yet Holmes is adamant that he must reconstruct the most recent murder site in the desert where it occurred.
What happens next is a true Holmsian mystery plot. The events in this book take place immediately after the events in THE BEEKEEPER'S APPRENTICE.
