"Oscar Wilde and the Vatican Murders "opens in 1892, as an
exhausted Arthur Conan Doyle retires to a spa in Germany with a
suitcase full of fan mail. But his rest cure does not go as
planned. The first person he encounters is Oscar Wilde, and the two
friends make a series of macabre discoveries among the letters--a
finger; a lock of hair; and, finally, an entire severed hand.
The trail leads the intrepid duo to Rome, and to a case that
involves miracles as well as murder. Pope Pius IX has just
died--these are uncertain times in the Eternal City. To uncover the
mystery and discover why the creator of Sherlock Holmes has been
summoned in this way, Wilde and Conan Doyle must penetrate the
innermost circle of the Catholic Church and expose the deadly
secrets of the six men closest to the pope.
In Gyles Brandreth's captivating and richly atmospheric novel,
Wilde's powers as a detective are put to the test in his most
compelling case yet.
