OSCAR WILDE & THE RING OF DEATH

OSCAR WILDE & THE RING OF DEATH
Oscar Wilde Mysteries Vol 2
Gyles Brandreth

 

Oscar Wilde is the toast of high society. His Lady Windermere’s Fan is a huge success. One evening, at an exclusive “Sunday Supper Club” dinner with such friends as Arthur Conan Doyle, Bram Stoker, and Robert Sherard, Wilde introduces a parlor game involving a list of people that his guests would secretly like to kill. From the next day onward, each person on the “hit list” dies mysteriously, in the very order with which his or her name showed up during the dinner. Wilde, Conan Doyle, and Sherard begin to investigate, especially after failing to enlist the help of Scotland Yard... Their ensuing adventures are as jolly as they are thrilling.
