The Adventure of the Twisted Truths


Book Description

It has been five years since the feared serial killer known as the Grand Reaper stalked the streets of the city of Lundon, the greatest metropolitan city in the world of Tera, five years since a cabal within the Lundon government and Lord Supreme Judge Questus Darkclaw covered up a shocking truth about the shadowy killer. But when young law student William Tudor is made the scapegoat in the murder of an investigative journalist, Professor Hershel Pendragon realizes he needs to solve the Grand Reaper case once and for all. Enlisting the aid of renowned private detective Francis Foresight, the professor flies to the City of Mandar. His mission is to hunt for clues about a mysterious individual known as the Dragon Lord whom the professor believes holds the key to solving the mystery. Back in Lundon, William is making a name for himself as he fights in court to uncover the secrets of the Grand Reaper. But there are those in power who do not wish for the truth to be revealed, and they will stop at nothing to silence their foes. Forged evidence, hired assassins, and a corrupt Ministry of Justice are just a few of the roadblocks Will faces. In order to survive, Will must rely on the help of his friends: the loyal Emily May, the sharp-shooting Robert of Locksley, and a strange individual named Vigilant Justice, whose face and origins are shrouded in mystery by the mask he always wears. But will their help be enough to unravel the government's twisted truths? Or will agents of death silence them first?

The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle


Book Description

Sherlock Holmes, the world's “only unofficial consulting detective”, was first introduced to readers in A Study in Scarlet published by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1887.

Orphans Preferred


Book Description

“WANTED. YOUNG, SKINNY, WIRY FELLOWS. NOT OVER 18. MUST BE EXPERT RIDERS. WILLING TO RISK DEATH DAILY. ORPHANS PREFERRED.” —California newspaper help-wanted ad, 1860 The Pony Express is one of the most celebrated and enduring chapters in the history of the United States, a story of the all-American traits of bravery, bravado, and entrepreneurial risk that are part of the very fabric of the Old West. No image of the American West in the mid-1800s is more familiar, more beloved, and more powerful than that of the lone rider galloping the mail across hostile Indian territory. No image is more revered. And none is less understood. Orphans Preferred is both a revisionist history of this magnificent and ill-fated adventure and an entertaining look at the often larger-than-life individuals who created and perpetuated the myth of “the Pony,” as it is known along the Pony Express trail that runs from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California. The Pony Express is a story that exists in the annals of Americana where fact and fable collide, a story as heroic as the journey of Lewis and Clark, as complex and revealing as the legacy of Custer’s Last Stand, and as muddled and freighted with yarns as Paul Revere’s midnight ride. Orphans Preferred is a fresh and exuberant reexamination of this great American story.
