The dawn of 1921 finds Mary Russell, Sherlock Holmesโs brilliant young apprentice, about to come into a considerable inheritance. Nevertheless, she still enjoys her nighttime prowls in disguise through Londonโs grimy streets, where one night she encounters an old friend, now a charity worker among the poor. Veronica Beaconsfield introduces Russell to the New Temple of God, led by the enigmatic, electrifying Margery Childe. Part suffragette, part mystic, she lives quite well for a woman of God from supposedly humble origins.
Despite herself, Russell is drawn ever deeper into Childeโs circle. When Veronica has a near-fatal accidentโ and turns out to be the fourth bluestocking in the group to meet with misadventure after changing her willโRussell and Holmes launch a quiet investigation. But the Temple may bring the newly rich Russell far closer to heaven than she would like.โฆ
