In 1886, a struggling young doctor and part-time author named Arthur Conan Doyle picked up his pen and created what is arguably the most famous character in the history of mystery and detective fiction: the consulting detective known as Sherlock Holmes. Forty years later, Doyle would conclude this astonishing series of adventures having penned four full novels and fifty-six short stories featuring Holmes and - in most of these stories - his friend and crime-fighting partner, Dr. John Watson (who often served as the fictional chronicler of these tales).

Presented here are the final three books of the Sherlock Holmes canon: the novel "The Valley of Fear" and two short story collections: "The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes" and "His Last Bow," all penned by Holmes' legendary creator, the great Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Despite his attempt to kill off his world-famous detective years earlier, Doyle here — decades later — finally brings Sherlock Holmes' adventures to a close. First, we present the stories collected in "Case-Book," including the thriller "The Adventure of the Three Garridebs" and the haunting "Adventure of the Sussex Vampire."

I grew up in Brooklyn, New York City—where the city never sleeps and the streets never forgive. Raised by a prostitute and drug addict who fought every day for survival, I learned early that the world cared little for those cast aside. To most, my mother was just another lost soul. But to me, she was a queen—the one person who loved me unconditionally. When I watched her die in front of my eyes, beaten, violated, and left for dead by the very monsters the world had abandoned her to, I made a vow: I’d make them pay, and I’d become the voice for the voiceless.

Ronald McGinnis Sr. shares his journey from the streets in Houston to the ranks of the U.S. Navy, offering lessons learned through hardship, prayer, and the quiet strength of those who came before him. This isn’t a story about titles or accolades, it’s about character. It’s about the kind of leadership that shows up when no one’s watching. The kind that listens before it speaks, that lifts others without needing credit, and that stays rooted in truth even when the winds of life try to shake it loose.

When D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover first appeared in print in the late 1920s, it was an immediate sensation. A vivid—often graphic—exploration of infidelity, sexual awakening, intimacy and free thinking, Chatterley was banned in Britain, America and dozens of other countries for its frank depiction of the sexual act, explicit descriptions of physical love and the liberal use of once-prohibited four-letter words.
