In the sweltering heat of July 1209, Carcassonne witnesses the birth of a mystery. Young Alaïs Pelletier, merely seventeen, receives an enigmatic tome from her father. He insists it harbours the authentic Grail's secret. Though the peculiar symbols and words elude her comprehension, Alaïs knows her fate is intertwined with safeguarding this labyrinthine mystery.
Fast forward to July 2005. Alice Tanner, an archaeologist, stumbles upon two skeletons in a long-forgotten Pyrenean cavern. A curious labyrinth symbol etched into the rock face catches her eye. As she delves deeper, Alice realises she's inadvertently unearthed something that was meant to remain concealed. Soon, she finds herself entangled in a web that connects a shocking secret to her own past.
Kate Mosse's 'Labyrinth' has been hailed as the 'reader's Holy Grail' by Val McDermid, whilst the Independent lauds it as 'an action-packed adventure of modern conspiracy and medieval passion'. This number one bestseller marks the first instalment of the captivating Languedoc trilogy, promising a thrilling journey through time and mystery.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
