When a series of macabre discoveries is made amongst the fan mail Arthur Conan Doyle has received - 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. To uncover the mystery, Wilde and Conan Doyle must penetrate the innermost circle of the Catholic Church - seven men who have a very great deal to lose. In OSCAR WILDE AND THE VATICAN MURDERS, the fifth in Gyles Brandreth's acclaimed Oscar Wilde Murder Mysteries series featuring Oscar Wilde and Arthur Conan Doyle, the two must penetrate the highest echelons of the Catholic Church to solve a macabre series of killings.
