A Mary Russell/Sherlock Holmes Adventure - Read by Jenny Stirlin

The quiet in the Holmes household in Sussex is shaken when Dorothy Ruskin, an amateur archaeologist
from the Holy Land, appears with an exquisite inlaid box containing a scrap of ancient writing. Miss
Ruskin soon dies in a traffic accident that Holmes and Mary prove was murder. But what was the
motivation? Was it the little inlaid box holding the manuscript? Or the woman's involvement in the
volatile politics of the Holy Land? Or could it have been the manuscript itself - a letter seemingly
written by Mary Magdalene that contains a biblical bombshell.
