Killer in Amish Country …

After her sister is found dead and her brother-in-law goes missing, Hannah Wittmer rushes back to the Amish community she abandoned to care for her young nieces. Although she makes every effort to blend in, she's still seen as an outsider — and quickly attracts the attention of a killer. She knows Sheriff Spencer Maxwell is fast on the murderer's tracks, but the Amish townspeople are as suspicious of him as they are of Hannah. As threats escalate — now targeting Hannah and the handsome sheriff — they'll follow any trail to uncover a vicious criminal. Even if that trail leads them right to their own backyard …

Green's curiosity is piqued when he discovers that Fraser left behind his beloved dog, a half-eaten dinner and an apartment crammed with research related to his case.

Has Fraser fled to escape the wrath of victims, new or old? Or was he innocent all along and spent the last ten years trying to clear his name? And who is Fraser's mysterious email correspondent with the user name Mistwalker?

October, 1903. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson's latest adventure takes them away from the glittering metropolis of London, and into the depths of the Cumberland countryside. On the arrival of a letter from Watson's former Army colleague, Captain Harry Vaughan of the Border Regiment, they instantly stand to attention … A daringly bold theft has taken place. Someone has stolen the Border Regiment's most prized possession — the Arroyo Drums. Someone has been negligent in protecting the drums and the regiment find themselves embarrassed and discomfited.

The Regiment had captured the drums in a battle with the French during the Peninsular War in 1811. They have proudly paraded their prize on the 28th October ever since. Enlisting the help of Cornelius Armstrong, Carlisle Inspector for the local authorities, Holmes and Watson try to use their powers of reasoning to sift through what few clues they have.

Then another crime is discovered. The Town Hall plaque has been stolen. Is there a connection between both break-ins? And why are the thieves targeting the Carlisle Regiment?

In a series of high-octane twists and turns, Sherlock and Watson attack the mystery head on and begin to uncover more evidence that points them in a surprising direction …

Three women have been raped and murdered and a man imprisoned for it. To be tried and convicted of three rape-murders has been an unnerving experience for Adrian Collis. Due to a legal technicality he finds himself released and in need of protection. But David Mallin and George Coe, confidential enquiry agents, realise that the basic difficulty is in deciding who is most in need of protection, Collis himself or his next potential victim …

Murder takes the decision out of their hands and the identity of the killer seems at first obvious — if it were not for the gun, which is missing …

It is the shotgun's movements, and its manner of use, which eventually leads Dave to a conclusion that comes very close to splitting their partnership. But the climax proves that both George and Dave can be seriously wrong, and the penalty is a fee in the most unusual form …
