What can be more frustrating for a Sherlock Holmes fan than a mystery left untold? At last, three exciting tales only hinted at in the Holmes canon come alive in Ann Margaret Lewis' Murder in the Vatican: The Church Mysteries of Sherlock Holmes. Follow the great detective as he investigates three baffling cases at the "express desire of his Holiness, the Pope." Stories include "The Death of Cardinal Tosca," "The Vatican Cameos," and "The Second Coptic Patriarch." You'll encounter baffling crimes, rich, historical settings, and a fateful encounter with Father Brown! These thrilling tales of murder and intrigue vividly bring to life three of Watson's "untold tales!" Illustrated. I was exceedingly preoccupied by that little affair of the Vatican cameos, and in my anxiety to oblige the Pope I lost touch with several interesting English cases. -Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles "Ann Lewis has ingeniously woven tales of mystery... Holmes and Watson are there, just as Doyle created them; it is fascinating to see the famous duo in the corridors of the papal apartments, matching wits with Leo XIII himself." -Elena Maria Vidal, Author, Trianon: A Novel of Royal France "From page one I was instantly immersed... Really quite an accomplishment. " -Jeff Miller, The Curt Jester
