Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of The Black Pharaoh (Book One)

By JM Reinbold

Engaged by Lord Silverpin and his sister, Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson are searching for the fifth Earl of Convarran who disappeared after returning to England following a disastrous excavation at the Black Pyramid in Dashoor, Egypt. In the course of his investigation, Holmes discovers the Silverpins are concealing a deadly secret, a secret that entangles him and Watson in a conspiracy that threatens their lives and the lives of his clients. At the heart of the mystery are two ancient artifacts. Relentlessly pursued by cultists, collectors, and the British government, the artifacts are the key to finding the Earl. As Holmes unravels clue after clue, he is convinced that they all point to a single man. A powerful, dangerous man whom Holmes must confront and defeat if he is to find the Earl and save his clients.

Coming from MX Publishing in June 2025.
