BENEATH THE DEADLY BLADE
A dying man arrives at 221B Baker Street. An eccentric burglar scandalizes Sussex. The legendary sword of the prophet Mohammed surfaces, then disappears...
This bizarre sequence of events propels Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to the back canals of Venice, the shadowy world of Berlin, the lurid alleys of Cairo, and the Valley of the Kings -- in search of the sacred silver sword and the false prophet who may trigger a holy war in the Middle East, unless the dauntless Holmes can bring the scoundrel to ground and halt his fiendish scheme!

Sherlock Holmes \u0026 the Sacred Sword Reviews
-
*stolen from Amazon because there is no book description here*
The story begins quickly when a dreadfully wounded man is brought to the door of 221B with the words "They found it" on his dying lips. The cryptic message turnes out not to be for Sherlock Holmes but his brother Mycroft. Political intrigue ensues and leads Holmes and Watson across three continents and involves two major religions. The sacred sword of the title is Mohammad's battle sword whose possession threatens to trigger a jihad. -
Rather a rollicking adventure for 'Sherlock Holmes', but enjoyable

read some time in 1981
