Does death await you in The Eternal City?

1892: Arthur Conan Doyle is intrigued when he first begins to receive mysterious packages addressed to his famous fictional detective Sherlock Holmes.

But the contents of the parcels are as gruesome and cryptic as any case Holmes himself tackled: a lock of hair, a severed finger wearing a gold ring, and the hand of a dead man.

The only clue to who has sent them is the postmark from Rome.

Doyle's friend and fellow author Oscar Wilde persuades him they must track down the perpetrator and identify the victims.

Arriving in Italy, their investigation leads them to connect the parcels with the disappearance of a young girl and to the glittering Vatican City...
With danger and death stalking them at every corner, can they unmask the killer before he catches up with them?

A wonderfully witty and gripping cosy historical murder mystery with twists and turns aplenty. Perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie and Richard Osman.
