Twenty-six-year-old Beatrice Hyde-Clare is far too shy to investigate the suspicious death of a fellow guest in the Lake District. A spinster who lives on the sufferance of her relatives, she would certainly not presume to search the rooms of her host's son and his friend looking for evidence. Reared in the twin virtues of deference and docility, she would absolutely never think to question the imperious Duke of Kesgrave about anything, let alone how he chose to represent the incident to the local constable. And yet that's exactly what she does.

Truth is a wild beast. Approach with patience and zeal, else it eludes you. Beatrice has developed a delicate nose for lies. It gets the old hound into trouble all the time - with criminals, Scotland Yard politics, and even her friends. Battling crime by day and her own demons by night, the question remains: justice or the law?

Having long abandoned any hope of making a match, 26-year-old Beatrice Hyde Clare finds herself a little overwhelmed by her engagement to the Duke of Kesgrave. Cloying society matrons clamor for her attention while her aunt reels off an endless list of servants she will have to oversee. Even the most intrepid female would quake at the prospect of managing eight footmen! Fortunately, Bea knows the perfect distraction - an intriguing mystery - and pays a call on the Countess of Abercrombie, who had promised her that very thing only the evening before.

Having inexplicably nabbed the duke of Kesgrave, 26-year-old spinster Beatrice Hyde-Clare is determined to marry him at once, and no amount of hand-wringing from anxious family members, worried friends, and well-meaning acquaintances will convince her to delay. Except, maybe, she is a little swayed by her uncle’s efforts to make amends for treating her with cold indifference during her childhood.

Aus dem Benediktinerkloster Kloster Saint Gabriels Hide im Süden Englands wird ein Mordfall gemeldet: Ein Novize, ein attraktiver junger Mann aus guten Haus, bricht unmittelbar nach Empfang der Kommunion tot zusammen. Der charismatische Abt wendet sich an Holmes, der mit dem nächsten Zug anreist. Wer ist der Mörder? Was ist das Motiv? War die Hostie vergiftet? Wer hat beobachtet, dass der Novize des Nachts die Gemächer des Abtes aufsucht? Ist es religiöser Fanatismus oder Eifersucht? Holmes und sein Chronist Dr. Watson finden es heraus.

As eager as Beatrice, Duchess of Kesgrave, is to meet her husband’s newly discovered illegitimate half sister, she does not want it to happen like this: in the keeper's house at Newgate. Yes, that Newgate, the abject prison filled with squalor and misery to which Verity Lark has been consigned for murder. Found standing over the slain corpse of an old tormentor with a still-warm pistol in her hand, she is obviously guilty. It is an open-and-shut case with little for an unduly curious duchess to investigate. Except it all seems a little too simple and straightforward.

To be clear: Beatrice, Duchess of Kesgrave, does not think every dead person in London is the victim of a sinister plot. The city is large, after all, and some of its inhabitants had to have died from innocent causes. Like Peter Huzza, who was killed in a horrifying steam engine accident. It is shocking, yes, the way his body was torn apart by the explosion of his very own machine, but not entirely surprising. High-pressure steam is notoriously dangerous to harness. There is no reason to suspect foul play. Nope, none at all.

Der Vergnügungspark von Kopenhagen hat eine neue Sensation: Die 'Montagne Russe', eine Achterbahn mit den weltweit steilsten Abfahrten und gefährlichsten Kurven. Holmes ist verrückt danach und bringt Watson dazu, die 'Höllenfahrt' mit ihm anzutreten. Kurz danach werden sie zurückgerufen: Ein Besucher ist aus einem der Wagen geschleudert worden. Die Sicherheits-Vorkehrungen sind technisch intakt und getestet: War der Gurt nicht korrekt geschlossen? Ist er wieder geöffnet worden? Versehen oder Absicht? Eine Monsteraufgabe für Holmes und Watson.

Holmes und sein Begleiter werden in New York zu einem Maler gebeten, der Drohbriefe erhält. Er malt besonders ungewöhnliche und liebliche Blumenbilder, die reißenden Absatz finden. Jemand fordert ihn auf, damit aufzuhören, er werde es sonst bereuen. Ist es der Freund aus Studientagen, der die Bilder für Plagiate hält? Die Assistentin, die hinter sein Geheimnis gekommen ist? Die Ehefrau, die alles für seine Karriere getan hat und vermutet, dass er es mit der Treue nicht genau nimmt? Holmes und sein Chronist Watson haben einigen Hürden zu nehmen.

Romanzo sullo sfondo di un delitto in cui i buoni e i cattivi si mescolano mostrando un mondo dipinto con i chiaroscuri dell'animo umano.

Sulla scenografia del mare, specchio dell'anima e suo ristoro, l'amicizia diventa complicità e confonde i rapporti facendosi caleidoscopio che trasfigura la realtà. Miro, vagabondo randagio addomesticato, è l'unico fedele a se stesso, leale compagno in mezzo a uomini nascosti dietro a silenzi che urlano con la forza di una burrasca.
