    The best place to solve a murder might be from behind bars . . .

    1897: The famous author Oscar Wilde is cruelly imprisoned in Reading Gaol. Unable to write, he fears he will go mad.

    But when a warden and the prison chaplain are found murdered, Wilde is suddenly thrown into his most difficult case yet.

    All the inmates were confined to their cells when each murder occurred, ruling out all the prime suspects. But Wilde is sure there is a serial killer operating undetected within the gaol . . .

    With limited resources and unable to trust anyone around him, he must uncover the truth before he meets the same untimely end . . .

    A wonderfully witty and gripping cosy historical locked-room murder mystery set within the dark world of Victorian prisons. Perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie and Richard Osman.
