His father's usurpation weighed heavily on his mind, and he needed a grand gesture to capture the respect of his own countrymen and the rest of Europe. What better way than to follow in his great-grandfather Edward III's footsteps, and recover the territory lost in France over the previous fifty years? Better yet, why not go for the crown? Poor, deranged Charles VI couldn't manage his own barons.

Alma takes Holmes and Watson to Vienna where they meet a famous musician and his famous wife; The Tsar, the Pince-Nez, and the Six-Foot Scowl is the final resolution of The Golden Pince-Nez plus a petition from Sergei Rachmaninov; and The Queen, the Dame, and the Left-Footer sees encounters with three famous women of Holmes's time.

Three eminent chiropodists have been abducted and Holmes is called in to rescue them. His search for them involves Holmes exploring the world of amateur musicians, and, with Watson's help, uncovering the nefarious activities of those involved in the taking and selling of pornographic photographs. In this adventure he has to use his musical skills in addition to his well-known talents for obtaining data and reasoning from those data. He is ably assisted in his investigations by a visiting detective from Glasgow, Superintendent MacPhail, who shares many of Holmes's abilities.

The first nine John “Slim” Hardy mysteries collected together for the first time.

Book 1: The Icehouse A Murderer on the Loose. A Detective Haunted by the Past. A Race Against Time. DCI Jonathan Walker is a senior detective for the Lancashire Constabulary in North West England. He’s haunted by events of the past and hell bent on redemption.

First, he led his own uprising. Then he captured a forsaken king. Henry had no intention of taking the crown for himself; it was given to him by popular acclaim. Alas, it didn't take long to realize that that having the kingship was much less rewarding than striving for it. Only three months after his coronation, Henry IV had to face a rebellion led by Richard's disgruntled favorites. Repressive measures led to more discontent. His own supporters turned against him, demanding more than he could give.

Watson is in the vaults of his bank Cox & Co., looking for a gift given to him by his wife Mary, shortly after they met. While he is there, his eye inevitably falls upon his old despatch box and he spends the following hours looking through the adventures he shared with Sherlock Holmes. After much consideration, he chooses a group of cases, all of which had a profound effect on him and decides to publish them in this new volume.

A grand tournament is about to begin, and the excitement grows as King Edward III joins the festivities at Mablethorpe Castle. Meanwhile, Lady Vivienne Harlowe's past comes back to haunt her, and she will do anything to find answers to the questions that have plagued her for the past seven years regarding her parents' unsolved murders. Meeting the king is nerve-wracking, but he is the only one who might be able to shed light on her nightmarish quandary.

In WRATH OF DRAGONS, Ash finds that he possesses an uncanny talent: to speak with the very dragons that razed his home. Hidden among fellow survivors honing similar gifts, Ash hones this power through Nerra's relentless tutelage, driven by dreams of reuniting with his sister in captivity. But destiny propels him away from safety when an ally is taken hostage; now, with an enigmatic dragon at his side challenging Voss's reign of fire, Ash must choose between two paths—continue mastering draconic dialogue or dive headfirst into battle for friendship and family.

There is a persistent and incorrect idea, reinforced by countless film misrepresentations, that Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were always staid and dull British chaps of middle years (or older), with Holmes a spry, cranky, and impatient eccentric, and Watson a white-haired and portly Boobus Brittanicus, a la Nigel Bruce. Students of the true and Canonical Sherlock Holmes know this to be a falsehood. When we first meet them on January 1, 1881, Holmes is still 26 years old (although he will turn 27 in just a few days), and Watson, already a wounded war veteran, is only 28.

When Sheriff Zachariah Fitch hears about a corpse found inside the wall of Maltby le Marsh Abbey, he wants nothing to do with the investigation since that is where his estranged sister resides as a nun. But with the local constable asking for his help, and Lady Vivienne accepting the case for them, he quickly finds himself not only working on a murder, but having to face his ghosts of the past involving his sister.

Lady Vivienne Harlowe doesn't fear much, and delves into life's experiences head on. But for years she's been plagued by the unsolved murders of her parents and the strange disappearance of other family members. Now, in the face of a new tragedy, she vows to follow every twist and turn until she's solved the dark deeds at Mablethorpe Castle.
