ReviewsPraise for Laurie R. King's Mary Russell novels: "The great marvel of King's series is that she's managed to preserve the integrity of Holmes' character and yet somehow conjure up a woman astute, edgy, and compelling enough to be the partner of his mind as well as his heart." --The Washington Post Book World The Moor: "There's no resisting the appeal of King's thrillingly moody scenes of Dartmoor and her lovely evocations of its legends." --The New York Times Book Review "Erudite, fascinating...by all odds the most successful recreation of the famous inhabitant of 221B Baker Street ever attempted." --Houston Chronicle A Letter Of Mary: "A lively adventure in the very best of intellectual company." --The New York Times Book Review "An intellectual puzzler, full of bright red herrings and dazzling asides." --Chicago Tribune A Monstrous Regiment of Women: "As audacious as it is entertaining and moving." --Chicago Tribune "King has a gift for the rich, decisive detail and the narrative crispness that distinguished Conan Doyle's writing." --The Washington Post Book World "Beguiling...tantalizing." --The Boston Globe The Beekeeper's Apprentice: "Rousing...riveting...suspenseful." --Chicago Sun-Times "Worthy and welcome, with the power to charm the most grizzled Baker Street Irregular." --Daily News, New York

SynopsisEntering British-occupied Palestine in 1918, Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes soon find themselves engaged in a desperate mission for His Majesty's government, accompanied by two mysterious Arab figures and pursued by murderous strangers.
A wonderful series. Sherlock Holmes and his investigative partner, Mary Russell, are in the Holy Land sent by Homes' brother Mycroft on a secret mission. The pair join up with two itinerant Bedouin brothers as they travel, gathering information which leads them to Jerusalem and a plot to set off a war.
