Book Description
A scientist who tortures apes in a mountain lab. A corpse in a locked study. A super-hacker called Black Swann. These send Sherlock Holmes from Switzerland to the English countryside – plunging him into an Orwellian world where tabloids, government and police have made a devil’s pact to hack the private lives of citizens. With animal and human rights threatened, Holmes moves to end the mad experiments of Professor Droon, find what killed Sylvia Swann, and save Inspector Lestrade from corrupt superiors. Quick and quirky as ever, Sherlock is fully recovered from the icy journey that carried him from 1914 to the present day. And in this fourth adventure he proves yet again the superiority of mind over megabytes.

Author: Larry Millett Publisher: U of Minnesota Press ISBN: 1452939055 Category : Fiction Languages : en Pages : 336
Book Description
Sherlock Holmes is bored between cases at 221B Baker Street. So when King Oskar II of Sweden—who has heard of the discovery of the Kensington Rune Stone by a farmer in Minnesota—asks to engage his services, Holmes jumps at the chance to decipher the runes and determine whether the find is real or a hoax. With Dr. John H. Watson by his side, faithfully recording every detail, Holmes makes his way to Minnesota for a third time. But, in the first of many strange and unfortunate coincidences, the farmer who found the mysterious stone is murdered, and the stone itself is stolen on the day the famous detective arrives. With the help of one Shadwell Rafferty, now a friend and partner, Holmes must solve this baffling case to find both the stone and the murderer.

Book Description
R. Wolfgang Schramm has created three science fiction-style, Sherlock Holmes stories in the Conan Doyle manner. Fans of the great consulting detective will enjoy Holmesacute; and Watson's adventures as they attempt to unravel some of the most baffling and well-known mysteries of the last century. Follow along with Holmes and Watson as they attempt to find the Loch Ness monster, uncover the secrets of the Shroud of Turin, and find the explanation for the enormous explosion that occurred in the Tunguska region of Russia in 1908. . Although a work of fiction, Schramm has made every effort to remain true to the historical facts in each of these three narratives. What actually happened is left as an exercise for the reader to determine, for history is not necessarily what happened but what has been recorded; thus, what is contained in these works is only one possible version of the truth. Even though Holmes and Watson are fictional characters, these stories in which they play a part are not without validity since they are based on actual facts, and Holmes' methods of problem solving mirror our modern use of the scientific method in the sciences and in criminal investigation. The Apocryphal Cases of Sherlock Holmes is lavishly illustrated . It contains 20 sketches by Artist Anne Foreman that literally bring the characters to life.

Book Description
Since the late 1960s, the novels of Sjowall and Wahloo's Martin Beck detective series, along with the works of Henning Mankell, Hakan Nesser and Stieg Larsson, have sparked an explosion of Nordic crime fiction--grim police procedurals treating urgent sociopolitical issues affecting the contemporary world. Steeped in noir techniques and viewpoints, many of these novels are reaching international audiences through film and television adaptations. This reference guide introduces the world of Nordic crime fiction to English-speaking readers. Caught between the demands of conscience and societal strictures, the detectives in these stories--like the heroes of Norse mythology--know that they and their world must perish, but fight on regardless of cost. At a time of bleak eventualities, Nordic crime fiction interprets the bitter end as a celebration of the indomitable human spirit.
