A Passover in Peshawar (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780244144661)

The further adventures of Charlotte Holmes and her companion Dr Watan as they attempt to foil a rebellion. A melancholic Dr Watan tries to seek solace in marriage and accepts a proposal from a widow with a grossly deformed child; much to the annoyance of Charlotte. Charlotte must visit her husband's family and must also negotiate with the Viceroy as they threaten to confiscate the estates. Charlotte is charged with thwarting a rebellion in the Northern Territories, led by the Warlord Walid Khan who is using the emergence of a miracle child, The Mahdi, to start a Jihad. When circumstances turn against the British, Watan is obliged to accompany Charlotte to Peshawar, to learn the truth about the Mahdi; they find the Russians are in league with the Warlord and plan to invade British India from the North. An epic, perilous journey to the Khyber Pass to thwart foreign agents, foil a blood-thirsty Warlord and determine the provenance of a miracle child, prophesied to herald the End of the World.
