A stolen masterpiece. A masterful forgery. And a murder that may not be what it seems.
When Dr. John Watson attends the wake of his childhood friend, Brigadier Buffington, he expects grief and old stories-not mystery. But Sherlock Holmes is never one to pass up suspicious circumstances.
Above the late Brigadier's hearth hangs an extraordinary painting: Leonardo da Vinci's Adoration of the Magi, long believed lost. Experts have certified it as authentic. But Holmes sees what no one else does: the painting is a forgery.
As Watson wrestles with guilt and anger over Holmes's meddling, they dig into a case of art fraud, secret societies, and hidden pasts. Did someone kill Buffington to steal the real masterpiece? Is the grieving widow part of a conspiracy? And what of Buffington's odd friends in the mysterious Society of Florence?
Following a trail through London's galleries, dusty clubs, and genteel homes, Holmes and Watson must uncover the truth about a priceless Renaissance painting-and a man's untimely death.
Sherlock Holmes and the Lost Da Vinci is a richly atmospheric Victorian mystery that delivers all the deductions, banter, and dark intrigue fans of Conan Doyle crave.
