About the book
August, 1923
The peaceful atmosphere at the Holmes household in Sussex is disrupted when Dorothy Ruskin, a hobbyist archaeologist from the Holy Land, arrives with a stunning inlaid box containing an ancient piece of writing. Tragically, Miss Ruskin is killed in a car accident that Holmes and Mary discover was no accident - it was murder. The question remains: what was the motive behind her death? Was it the valuable inlaid box with the manuscript inside? Or her involvement in the tumultuous politics of the Holy Land? Perhaps it was the manuscript itself - a letter believed to be from Mary Magdalene containing a shocking revelation from the Bible. A Letter of Mary is an exquisitely crafted and historically accurate novel that will captivate readers with its intelligence and intrigue.
