Description
It is the year 1891, and a Catholic priest arrives at 221B Baker Street. However, he utters only two words, 'il corpe,' before suddenly collapsing dead to the ground. The police doctor attributes the man's death to cholera, but when Holmes learns of another priest with similar symptoms, he suspects that both were poisoned. Together with Watson, he discovers that the victims were sent from the Vatican to investigate a miracle – it is said that the body of the philanthropist and slave trader from the eighteenth century, Edwyn Warwick, has not decomposed in the grave. Should the Pope canonize a man who became wealthy through slavery? And when Warwick's body is stolen, it becomes clear that the priests' mission has attracted the attention of a deadly conspiracy... This case from one of the most beloved characters in world crime literature is brought to you this time by Cavan Scott, author of many bestsellers and television shows.
