The murderer, known as the Monster of Munich, announces that he has relocated to Eisendorf, a tiny village near the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

It's summertime on the Riviera, where the Jazz Age is busily reinventing the holiday delights of warm days on golden sand and cool nights on terraces and dance floors. Just up the coast lies a more traditional pleasure ground: Monte Carlo, where fortunes are won, lost, stolen, and hidden away. So when Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes happen across the Côte d'Azur in this summer of 1925, they find themselves pulled between the young and the old, hot sun and cool jazz, new friendships and old loyalties, childlike pleasures and very grownup sins...

On the morning of the vernal equinox in 1899, Holmes is roused from his bed by Lestrade. The inspector has received a report of a girl brutally murdered at Stonehenge. Upon arriving at the famed site, Holmes discovers the body of a young woman. On her forehead, painted in blood, is a druidic symbol. On her side, also in blood, is a message written in a strange language that neither Holmes nor Lestrade can decipher. The girl was also eviscerated and her organs placed around her body. As a final touch, branches from yew trees had been artistically arranged around the corpse. Holmes senses a malevolent force at work, but without data, he is powerless. As the weeks pass, he slowly gathers information about the ancient druids and Celtic mythology and begins to assemble a small army of experts to assist him.

In a parallel story, Michelangelo, the toast of Rome in 1501 after the unveiling of his Pieta, is commissioned by Pope Alexander VI, the last of the Borgia pontiffs, with creating the cameos that will bedevil Holmes and the papacy four centuries later.

It is 1872, and a series of gruesome murders is the talk of London. Mycroft Holmes - now 26 and a force to be reckoned with at the War Office - has no interest in the killings; however his brother Sherlock has developed a distasteful fascination for the macabre to the detriment of his studies, much to Mycroft's frustration. When a ship carrying cargo belonging to Mycroft's best friend Cyrus Douglas runs aground, Mycroft persuades Sherlock to serve as a tutor at the orphanage that Douglas runs as a charity, so that Douglas might travel to see what can be salvaged.

Publisher's Summary
As the city of Minneapolis prepares for a visit from President William McKinley, someone else prepares for murder. On the day before the visit, a union activist is found hanged, naked, outside a ruined mansion. A placard around his neck reads "THE SECRET ALLIANCE HAS SPOKEN." Who is the alliance? What does it want? How was the victim involved with the city's corrupt mayor? And why did he possess a photograph of a prominent citizen in a compromising position? Shadwell Rafferty searches for answers, encountering bribery, corruption, union organizers, anarchists, and conspiracy, putting himself in danger. But as luck would have it, his old friends Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John H. Watson are on their way.
In this fourth installment of Larry Millett's Minnesota Mystery series, Shadwell Rafferty commands center stage in a brand-new city. Packed with Millett's signature historical and architectural detail, this book is deviously delightful.

Wow
This is an impressive story. It has so many different threads, and they all weave together in a way that is elegant and even believable. You will be guessing until the end on the true nature of the crimes and the persons and situations that Rafferty and Holmes come across. This was the best Millett story to date in my opinion as far as cadence and content. Filled to the brim with detail. Pretty amazing.

Best Plot, Least Holmes of First 4 in Minn. Series
So far I'm listened to the first 4 books in the Holmes-in-Minnesota series. This is the best plot of the 4, but Holmes/Watson barely play a role. So, if you've listened to books 2 and 3 and enjoy Rafferty, you'll like this book very much. If you prefer a more "pure" Holmes book then take a pass on this one.
Characters are very good. Story good. Plot twists good. Ending is rather abrupt...you're left to the postscript to find out how many of the loose ends get tied up, mostly thru a convenient letter. Essentially, it's the author saying he didn't know how to tie together all the storylines so here's a bullet-point list. Don't mean this to be overly critical...the book is very enjoyable.

Bit of a misnomer
The overall story decent, and the narrator is good. My issue is that it's a bit generous to call this a "Sherlock Holmes" story. Holmes and Watson are more side characters, leaving Mr. Rafferty to take center stage. It takes a while to for Holmes and Watson to even appear in the story at all. If your desire is for a story that centers on Holmes and Watson, you may want to pass over this one. If you simply want a decent mystery told competently, you may want to give this a try.
