For the full reading experience, we recommend starting with Part 1.

London, 1882.
A mysterious cry for help from Belgravia.
An ancient artefact that casts long shadows.
And a detective facing his darkest case yet.

Arthur Kensington, a brilliant Egyptologist, has disappeared without a trace. What Scotland Yard dismisses as the disappearance of an eccentric academic immediately alarms Sherlock Holmes. For Kensington was on the trail of a secret hidden in the famous Rosetta Stone – a secret for which dark forces will stop at nothing.

Forget everything you know about modern crime novels. We're turning back the clock!
"The Curse of the Rosetta Stone" is a literary homage to the golden age of crime fiction.

Why you shouldn't miss this case:

🕵️ Classic Holmes canon: A detailed homage to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle that captures the spirit, language and deduction of the original. No modernisation, no kitsch – pure Victorian crime fiction.
🧩 The serial format: Experience suspense as it was meant to be. Like in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's time in Strand Magazine, this novel unfolds episodically. Every week, the web of intrigue thickens.
📰 Immersion (bonus magazine): Accompany your reading with our exclusive PDF magazine in a historical newspaper layout (download link in the book). Read fictional reports from The Times, study background information on Egyptology and bring Victorian London to life.
The community: Become part of the Baker Street Special Unit. Write letters to the editor, share your theories on the case, and you may even see your name printed in the next issue.

This is not a book for a casual afternoon.
This is a ticket to 221B Baker Street and ten weeks of suspense.

The fog is lifting. The game begins.
