  "Silver Blaze", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 12 in the cycle collected as The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. Doyle ranked "Silver Blaze" 13th in a list of his 19 favourite Sherlock Holmes stories.
  Sherlock Holmes and his partner Dr. Watson travel by train to Dartmoor to investigate a crime of disappearance of the great race horse Silver Blaze and the murder of the horse's trainer, John Straker. Holmes and Watson arrive at King's Pyland, from which Silver Blaze is missing. Fitzroy Simpson has come to Dartmoor (and specifically to King's Pyland) to gather information relating to his professional activities, and has become a suspect in the murder. However, to Holmes, from the outset, there seem to be a number of facts that do not fit the inspector's case against Simpson, damning as it looks. It seems odd, for instance, that he would lead the horse out on to the moor simply to injure or kill him. That could be done right in his stall. He could not have stolen the animal. What good would such a famous thoroughbred be to him? Why has an exhaustive search of the neighbourhood not turned up Silver Blaze? What has Simpson done with him?

  Boone has been prospecting with the Iron Brotherhood outlaw motorcycle gang for almost a year, trying to earn his patch with the club. When a simple muscle job goes terribly wrong, his world changes forever. He is quickly plunged deeper into a world of drug and intimidation, and the lines between right and wrong blur. The bonds of brotherhood that he forges with other members clash with the dark actions they take. His girlfriend, Faith, represents a danger of another kind, but Boone can’t stop himself where she is concerned, either. 
  When someone closest to him dies, and rampant rumors of a rat in the clubhouse puts everyone in danger, Boone comes to learn what it really means to live his life…in the cut.

  "The Mystery of 31 New Inn" by R. Austin Freeman is a detective novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Dr. Jervis, a medical doctor who becomes involved in a perplexing case concerning a mysterious patient named Mr. Graves. Mr. Graves appears to be gravely ill under unusual circumstances that suggest he may have been poisoned. 
  At the beginning of the narrative, Dr. Jervis reflects on his connection with the influential detective John Thorndyke while recounting a recent incident in his practice. He receives a call from a messenger summoning him to attend to Mr. Graves, a patient who has refused medical help until this point. Upon arriving at a dimly lit house, he is greeted by an anxious housekeeper. 
  When Dr. Jervis confronts Mr. Graves, he notices alarming signs indicative of opium poisoning, which leads him into a web of secrecy and uncertainty. The strange atmosphere, the housekeeper’s behavior, and the ominous presence of Mr. Weiss create a tense dynamic. This raises questions about the true nature of Mr. Graves's illness, the motivations of those involved, and the dark secrets they might be hiding.
