"[THE ITALIAN SECRETARY] emanates a well-drawn atmosphere of gloom that makes this story a nice companion to 'The Hound of the Baskervilles.' Holmes fans and scholars should be pleased with this novel." Publisher's noteThe author of the Alienist series presents another angle on the Sherlock Holmes saga, setting the legendary detective on the trail of a murderer whose connections may run all the way up the social ladder to the royal family. AnnotationCaleb Carr, bestselling author of THE ALIENIST, makes his own contribution to the ever-popular subgenre of Holmes pastiche with this historical mystery commissioned by the Conan Doyle estate. Renovation of the Royal Palace of Holyrood, Queen Victoria's Edinburgh residence, is disrupted when two of the workers are murdered. One of the Queen's closest counselors, Mycroft Holmes, summons his brother Sherlock to discover the perpetrator and determine whether the deaths represent any threat to the throne. Noting that details of the murders recall the long-ago brutal stabbing of David Rizzio, an Italian secretary who served Mary, Queen of Scots, Holmes wonders if the present-day deaths have a supernatural, rather than an earthly, cause.
