What if Sherlock Holmes traveled to the White City during the 1893 World’s Colombian Exposition in pursuit of a possible Jack the Ripper suspect… only to encounter America’s first great serial killer, H. H. Holmes?

Fresh from the streets of London, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson arrive in Chicago at the height of the World’s Fair, where millions have gathered to witness the marvels of a new century. Beneath the gleaming white facades and technological wonders, however, lurks a darkness every bit as sinister as that found in Victorian England.

As Holmes follows a trail that may finally reveal the identity of Jack the Ripper, he finds himself drawn into a deadly game with the brilliant and ruthless Dr. H. H. Holmes, proprietor of the infamous “Murder Castle.” With young women disappearing, bodies vanishing without a trace, and a killer always one step ahead, the world’s greatest detective must determine whether he is hunting a monster, or has become the hunted himself.

Blending historical fact with classic Victorian mystery, Sherlock Holmes and the White City brings together two of the nineteenth century’s most infamous figures in a thrilling tale of murder, deception, and suspense. In a city celebrating mankind’s achievements, only one man may be capable of stopping a killer hiding in plain sight.

When Oliver Daniels’ wife is murdered after purchasing a Salvador Dalí painting on a Mexican cruise, he is left with more questions than answers. What begins as a search for the truth soon uncovers a secret buried since the Spanish Civil War: a hidden fortune worth killing for.

Pursued by assassins, art thieves, and powerful men determined to claim the prize, Oliver is drawn into a deadly chase stretching from Texas to Europe. Along the way, he discovers that the painting holds far more than artistic value—it contains the key to a mystery that has remained unsolved for generations.

Ship of Fools is a literary thriller filled with murder, greed, history, and suspense, featuring the return of familiar characters from the Saxon Brothers universe. In the end, the greatest danger may not be the treasure itself, but the people willing to do anything to possess it.
