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.
