About this ebook
SHERLOCK HOLMES INVESTIGATES A HOLY MYSTERY: In 1891, a Catholic priest arrives at 221B Baker Street, only to utter the words “Il corpe” . . . before suddenly dropping dead.
Though the man’s death is attributed to cholera, when news of another dead priest reaches Holmes, he becomes convinced that the men have been poisoned. He and Watson learn that the victims were on a mission from the Vatican to investigate a miracle: it is said that the body of 18th-century philanthropist and slave trader Edwyn Warwick has not decomposed. But should the Pope canonize a man who made his fortune through slavery? And when Warwick’s body is stolen, it becomes clear that the priests’ mission has attracted the attention of a deadly conspiracy . . .
From bestselling author Cavan Scott, Sherlock Holmes: Cry of the Innocents is sure to delight fans of historical mysteries and Arthur Conan Doyle’s Great Detective.
