Book Description: Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are summoned to the aid of Queen Victoria in Scotland by a telegram from Holmes brother, Mycroft, a royal advisor. Rushed northward on a royal train and nearly murdered themselves en route the pair are soon joined by Mycroft, and learn of the brutal killings of two of the Queen s servants, a renowned architect and his foreman, both of whom had been working on the renovation of the famous and forbidding Royal Palace of Holyrood, in Edinburgh. <P>Mycroft has enlisted his brother to help solve the murders that may be key elements of a much more elaborate and pernicious plot on the Queen s life. But the circumstances of the two victims deaths also call to Holmes mind the terrible murder in Holyrood of 'The Italian Secretary,' David Rizzio. Only Rizzio, a music teacher and confidante of Mary, Queen of Scots, was murdered three centuries ago. Holmes proceeds to alarm Watson with the announcement that the Italian Secretary s vengeful spirit may have taken the lives of the two men as punishment for disturbing the scene of his assassination. <P>Critically acclaimed, bestselling author Caleb Carr s brilliant new offering takes the Conan Doyle tradition to remarkable new heights with this spellbinding tale.
