Laurie R. King’s New York Times bestselling novels of
suspense featuring Mary Russell and her husband, Sherlock
Holmes, comprise one of today’s most acclaimed mystery
series. Now, in their newest and most thrilling adventure,
the couple is separated by a shocking circumstance in a
perilous part of the world, each racing against time to
prevent an explosive catastrophe that could clothe them both
in shrouds.
In a strange room in Morocco, Mary Russell is trying to
solve a pressing mystery: Who am I? She has awakened with
shadows in her mind, blood on her hands, and soldiers
pounding on the door. Out in the hivelike streets, she
discovers herself strangely adept in the skills of the
underworld, escaping through alleys and rooftops, picking
pockets and locks. She is clothed like a man, and armed only
with her wits and a scrap of paper containing a mysterious
Arabic phrase. Overhead, warplanes pass ominously north.
