A Papal legate, on a secret mission to England from Rome, is discovered dead. How did he die? And why? Mycroft Holmes, master of many of the secrets of the realm, calls in his younger brother Sherlock to discover the answer to these questions.
When he arrives at the scene of the crime, Sherlock Holmes discovers that the Cardinal's corpse has been moved – inside a locked room. A search for a missing document which may prove to be the clue to this riddle – but Holmes and Watson find themselves caught in a tangled web of mystery and political intrigue as they investigate The Death of Cardinal Tosca.

“Ashton seems to have a knack for hitting a very convincingly canonical mark, making his stories some of the most consistently plausible I’ve found. The Death of Cardinal Tosca may well be my favorite of those stories so far. The atmosphere feels warmly familiar, the mystery plausible, yet delightfully recherché, the historical aspects carefully researched and the canonical details thoughtfully upheld. If you’re a Sherlock Holmes fan who’s read through the Canon and are aching for more, this is the book for you ! ”
(Carrie Carlson - Stormy Petrels blog)
“Mr Ashton’s echoes of Conan Doyle’s work build in volume and add resonance and depth to the characters, while not contradicting them. The reader gains insight into Holmes’ and Watson’s relationship and the relationship between Sherlock and his brother Mycroft. As is consistent with the originals, these insights are just tantalising hints, but careful readers will enjoy them.”
(Kelly Quinn)
“In The Death of Cardinal Tosca, Hugh Ashton maintains his place as one of the best writers of new Sherlock Holmes stories, in both plotting and style.”
(The District Messenger, newsletter of the Sherlock Holmes Society of London)
