Sinopse

Collected Short Stories, Volume 10 continues Arthur Conan Doyle's survey of his own wide-ranging short fiction. In this collection, the focus shifts to tales of intrigue and suspense. Doyle's knack for crime storytelling is on display in several tight plots involving clever deceptions and justice served. There are also humorous exploits – one story might recount the misadventures of bumbling burglars, while another portrays an absurd duel of wits in high society. Volume 4 doesn't shy away from the macabre, either: a few stories venture into darker territory, with twist endings that reveal criminal horrors or ironic fates. For example, a story like "The Silver Hatchet" mixes crime with a touch of the supernatural in a tale of a cursed object causing madness. Overall, this volume provides a thrilling reading experience, oscillating between light-hearted capers and grim mysteries, all unified by Doyle's clear, vigorous prose.

    💎 When jewelry historian Gemma Sterling inherits her grandmother's antique jewelry box, she discovers it comes with a dark legend: every owner for the past century has met with a mysterious end. Gemma dismisses the superstition as folklore—until a rival appraiser is found dead with one of the box's missing pieces clutched in her hand. Suddenly, Gemma finds herself at the center of a deadly treasure hunt involving cursed diamonds, stolen heirlooms, and a secret society of collectors who will stop at nothing to possess the complete set. With the help of a skeptical museum curator and her knowledge of gemology, Gemma must decode clues hidden in the jewelry's craftsmanship before the curse claims its next victim. But as she uncovers each piece's bloody history, she realizes some family secrets are better left buried in velvet.

    When the world threatened to end, a select few went into an underground complex and left those above to survive any way they could. Scientist Faith Hamilton and her grown daughter Josie are two of the abandoned. A Barricade around the entrance to the bunker ensures those below would never be allowed out. 
    Twenty years later they start hearing strange voices, seeing shadows within. Those below start to appear in the inner circle of the Barricade asking to be let out. Those above still refuse. Faith and her friends discover it hasn't isolated them as they thought, that in fact there has been communication and manipulation by those underground all this time. 
    "...a monstrously grim dystopian tale exposing the human condition with all its frailties. Uncovering themes of abandonment, trauma, and mental health The Barricade examines exactly how far we might be prepared to go to survive the impossible, both as individuals and as a species. Provocative and compelling." -Lee Murray 
    "...Ellis presents the worst kind of dystopia: one which is all too believable, especially in the actions of the few who remain. With a diverse cast, and a compellingly underrepresented choice of protagonist, the author's unique voice and perspective bring this post-apocalyptic world to chilling life." - Kev Harrison 
    "...Stephanie Ellis has created a story where the strength of older women is celebrated. Topics usually shied away from, such as menopause, are part of the story just as they are part of everyday life for many of us. Her heroines are human, and it's the limitations they overcome that make them special. A riveting story that doesn't flinch from the worst in us and, in spite of this, somehow left me feeling stronger. An empowering narrative that will lodge in your thoughts for a long while." -Angela Yuriko Smith
