The Ring of Death
Autor Gyles Brandrethen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 feb 2009
Oscar Wilde doesn't realise what he has set in motion when he proposes a game of 'Murder' in which each of his guests must write down those whom they would like to kill. For the fourteen 'victims' begin to die mysteriously, one by one, With growing horror, Wilde and his confidantes Robert Sherard and Arthur Conan Doyle, realise that one of their guests must be the murderer. In a race against time, Wilde will need all his powers of deduction and knowledge of human behaviour before he himself - the thirteenth name on the list - becomes the killer's next victim.
