Alley Theatre Presents Sherlock Holmes Mystery: The Crucifer of Blood.

ExxonMobil Summer Chills
The Crucifer Of Blood
By Paul Giovanni
Directed by Gregory Boyd

In The Crucifer of Blood two murders and a treasure of jewels lead to a blood oath and an uncanny mystery that the master detective must solve before more fall victim.  Amid fog-shrouded London in 1887, Holmes and Watson confront danger and an ingenious villain intent on making a curse come true. The story opens thirty years earlier in India, when the treasure is first discovered. This exotic and thrilling mystery driven by greed, deceit and murder is recommended for teens and adults.
