Description
“Death is a matter of paperwork.”
Mecca, 1892. Cholera has come up from Jeddah with the pilgrims, and every morning new names are posted at the gate of the Sharif’s palace. Shaykh Abdullah, a teacher of grammar in the Sacred Mosque, has learnt to read the register of the dead without flinching.
Then he notices a Persian pilgrim who walks the wrong way round the Ka’ba: a man who knows nothing a Muslim knows, and everything about everyone else. He is an Englishman, and the world believes he died at the foot of a Swiss waterfall the year before.
Three men have died of cholera in three houses where no one else fell sick. Bound by duty to the city he loves, the Shaykh is drawn into a hunt that runs from the Sacred Mosque to the Jeddah road.
Found among the Shaykh’s papers, this is the account of what Sherlock Holmes was really doing in the years he was thought dead.
