Synopsis

In 1901, a burglary in the papal apartments brings Sherlock Holmes to Rome at the request of Pope Leo XII. The pontiff explains that several priceless cameos have been taken, objects whose loss could prove compromising to the Church and may influence the future of newly unified Italy.

Running alongside this is a story set in 1501, when Michelangelo, celebrated in Rome after the unveiling of his Pieta, is commissioned by Pope Alexander VI to create the cameos that will later trouble the papacy. Written for readers who enjoy Conan Doyle’s detective, it presents a case in which Holmes faces an adversary unlike any he has previously encountered.
