Publisher Description

Mummies, Mysteries, and Murder—Holmes and Lucy Take on an Ancient Curse!

London, 1898. When an heiress turns up dead beneath Cleopatra's Needle, the bizarre crime scene comes with a chilling message—and a threat to unleash chaos across the city. Enter Sherlock Holmes and Lucy James, diving headfirst into a mystery brimming with curses, cults, and conspiracies.

The heiress's eccentric husband insists he's innocent, but his alibi is flimsier than papyrus. His panicked Egyptian maid knows more than she's letting on, and Lucy narrowly dodges a bullet—literally—during a search of the inventor's creepy mansion. Meanwhile, Becky, Flynn, and Dr. Watson stumble into a deadly trap, and Holmes uncovers a sinister plan by the Sons of Ra: a shadowy cult determined to leave their mark on London, no matter the cost.

From secret passages to shadowy plots, Holmes and Lucy must race to outsmart rebels, solve the crime, and stop a scheme as grand as Cleopatra's Needle itself. Will they crack the case, or will the ancient curse strike again?

Perfect for fans of Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, and rollicking adventures, The Curse of Cleopatra's Needle is a dazzling tale packed with twists, danger, and plenty of Victorian fun.
