Galvanised by a throwaway remark about an enigmatic inscription found at an ancient Egyptian turquoise mine, Holmes embarks in 1911 on a year-long quest to the Holy Land and the Sinai Desert in pursuit of 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-listen for fans of historical fiction, Holmesian adventures, and lovers of linguistic and archaeological puzzles.
