An Opened Grave
Sherlock Holmes Investigates His Ultimate Case

Description of Book

In the midst of retirement, Sherlock Holmes is lured into what he believes to be a simple missing-person case. While investigating his new case, an apparent miracle saves his life and causes him to begin to question his own world-view. His client, the lovely and devout Miss Elizabeth Hackberry, offers him an explanation for the life-saving miracle--an explanation that challenges all that he knows and believes.

In his attempt to prove or disprove Miss Hackberry's belief that God was the One who saved his life, Holmes reaches the conclusion that he must personally investigate the most controversial, ancient mystery of all time--the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

As a result, Holmes and Dr. Watson set out on a dangerous journey to Jerusalem. Along the way they face imprisonment, scoundrels, slavery, starvation, hostile sheiks, and a treacherous villain who turns their journey into a cat-and-mouse game.
