Mystery Historical
One of Britain's premier royal biographers pens the first
in a series of fiendishly clever and stylish historical
murder mysteries Lovers of historical mystery will
relish this chilling Victorian tale based on real events and
cloaked in authenticity. Best of all, it casts British
literature's most fascinating and controversial figure as
the lead sleuth. A young artist's model has been murdered,
and legendary wit Oscar Wilde enlists his friends Arthur
Conan Doyle and Robert Sherard to help him investigate. But
when they arrive at the scene of the crime they find no sign
of the gruesome killing -- save one small spatter of blood,
high on the wall. Set in London, Paris, Oxford, and
Edinburgh at the height of Queen Victoria's reign, here is a
gripping eyewitness account of Wilde's secret involvement in
the curious case of Billy Wood, a young man whose brutal
murder served as the inspiration for The Picture of
Dorian Gray. Told by Wilde's contemporary -- poet Robert
Sherard -- this novel provides a fascinating and evocative
portrait of the great playwright and his own "consulting
detective," Sherlock Holmes creator, Arthur Conan Doyle.
