The second witty novel in an astonishingly authentic Victorian historical mystery series featuring Oscar Wilde as a detective and his partner in crime, Arthur Conan Doyle.It's 1892, and Wilde is the toast of London, riding high on the success of his play Lady Windemere's Fan. While celebrating with friends at a dinner party he conjures up a game called murder that poses the question: Who would you most like to kill? Wilde and friends--including Arthur Conan Doyle, Bram Stoker, and poet Robert Sherard (the novel's narrator)--write the names of their victims on pieces of paper and choose them one by one. After leaving the party, Wilde scoffs at the suggestion that he may have instigated a very dangerous game indeed... The very next day, the game takes an all-too- sinister turn when the first victim turns up dead. Soon Wilde and his band of amateur detectives must travel through the realms of politics, theater, and even boxing to unearth whose misguided passions have the potential to become deadly poisons...not only for the perpetrator of the seemingly perfect crimes but also for the trio of detectives investigating them. Richly atmospheric and as entertaining as Wilde himself, this book is the second in a series destined to delight traditional mystery readers, Victorian mystery fans, and historical fiction buffs alike.
