Book Description

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.
