Description:

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. When ancient secrets refuse to stay buried... When Lady Eliza Thornberry reports the theft of a priceless Egyptian artifact from her family's ancestral home, Holmes and Garden find themselves drawn into a web of mystery far more complex than simple theft. The missing Crimson Scarab—centerpiece of the late Sir Edmund Thornberry's Egyptian collection—is said to hold the key to ancient transformation rituals and a family curse that has haunted Thornberry Hall for generations. As unexplainable events escalate and ghostly apparitions are reported on the grounds, the unconventional detective duo must determine whether they face an elaborate hoax, a clever thief exploiting superstition, or something that challenges the boundaries between rational explanation and ancient mysticism. With Holmes's flair for historical insight and Garden's methodical approach—including his secret talent for gathering information in his alter-ego as Joanne—they navigate hidden chambers beneath the estate, decipher cryptic hieroglyphics, and uncover family secrets spanning back to Sir Edmund's controversial Egyptian expeditions. When they discover the theft is connected to an imminent celestial conjunction that mirrors ancient Egyptian ritual timing, Holmes and Garden must race against astronomical inevitability to prevent the Crimson Scarab from being used in a ceremony with unpredictable and potentially dangerous consequences. Enlisting the help of their brilliant research assistant Shirley, the sceptical Detective Inspector Streeter, and a cast of village locals with unexpected connections to the Thornberry legacy, Holmes and Garden confront a mystery where science, history, and the supernatural converge—and where the line between transformation and deception proves dangerously thin.
