OSCAR WILDE & THE VATICAN MURDERS Oscar Wilde Mysteries 5 Charles Brandreth
In 1892, an exhausted Arthur Conan Doyle, retires to the spa at Bad Homburg. But his rest cure does not go as planned. The first person he encounters is Oscar Wilde, and when the two friends make a series of macabre discoveries amongst the portmanteau of fan mail Conan Doyle has brought to answer – a severed finger, a lock of hair and finally an entire severed hand – the game is once more afoot. The trail leads to Rome, to the very heart of the Eternal City, the Vatican itself.
