He has excellent night vision, and is said to have, “Eyes like a cat.” He is highly distrustful of Holmes and Russell when they first come. He uses a large unwieldy knife for everything, including carving small wooden figures. He is taciturn and is described as being as steady as a rock.Īli Hazr-: He is Mahmoud's younger brother, and dresses very flamboyantly.
He has a scar on his face from being previously tortured. Mahmoud Hazr: He works as a traveling scribe, which covers up that he and Ali are British spies. He visited Palestine previously, and so already has experience with the customs and language, to a certain degree. Sherlock Holmes: The aging detective has recently had his back badly hurt in The Beekeeper's Apprentice. She keeps throwing knives in her boots and has excellent aim.
During the escapade, she is dressed as a young Bedouin man and must learn the Arabic language on the go. Mary Russell: She is nineteen, and currently on a break from studying theology at Oxford University. In Palestine Mary and Sherlock meet up with Mahmoud and Ali Hazr, two apparently Bedouin guides, to counter a plot against the British in Jerusalem under General Edmund Allenby. Set during the voyage of Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes to the Holy Land, the action of this novel takes place chronologically during the action of The Beekeeper's Apprentice. O Jerusalem is the fifth book in the Mary Russell series by Laurie R.
