The Italian secretary
Synopsis
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are called to Scotland by Mycroft Holmes to investigate the brutal murders of two of Queen Victoria's servants at the Royal Palace of Holyrood. The victims were involved in renovations, and their deaths suggest a larger plot against the Queen. Holmes, however, is drawn to a centuries-old murder at the same location, that of "The Italian Secretary," David Rizzio, and speculates that a vengeful spirit may be at play.
