The Homicide Room: The Heirs of Sherlock Holmes Collect to Resolve the World’s Most Perplexing Chilly Ca ses

Three of the best detectives within the world–a famend FBI agent turned personal eye, a sculptor and lothario who speaks to the lifeless, and an eccentric profiler often known as “the dwelling Sherlock Holmes”-were heartsick over the rising tide of unsolved murders. Good mates and someday rivals William Fleisher, Frank Bender, and Richard Walter determined someday over lunch that one thing needed to be finished, and pledged themselves to a grand quest for justice. The three males invited the best assortment of forensic investigators ever assembled, drawn from 5 continents, to the Downtown Membership in Philadelphia to start an audacious quest: to deliver the coldest killers on the planet to an accounting. Named for the primary fashionable detective, the Parisian eugène François Vidocq-the flamboyant Napoleonic real-life sleuth who impressed Sherlock Holmes-the Vidocq Society meets month-to-month in its secretive chambers to resolve a chilly homicide over a gourmand lunch.

The Homicide Room attracts the reader right into a chilling, darkly humorous, awe-inspiring world because the three companions journey removed from their Victorian eating room to hunt the ruthless killers of a millionaire’s son, a serial killer who carves off faces, and a baby killer having fun with fifty years of freedom and darkish fantasy.

Acclaimed bestselling creator Michael Capuzzo’s sensible storytelling brings true crime to life extra realistically and vividly than it has ever been portrayed earlier than. It’s a world of dazzlingly vibrant forensic science; true evil as outdated because the Bible and darkish because the pages of Dostoevsky; and a bunch of flawed, passionate women and men, impressed by their very own wounded hearts to make a stand for reality, goodness, and justice in a world gone mad.
