Beschreibung

"Holmes & Moriarty - Complete Book Set" delves into the intricate dance of intellect between Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's iconic detective, Sherlock Holmes, and his equally brilliant adversary, Professor James Moriarty. This comprehensive volume elegantly compiles the thrilling escapades and cerebral conflicts that define their legendary rivalry, showcasing Conan Doyle's masterful narrative style characterized by meticulous attention to detail and an exceptional command of suspense. Set against the richly layered backdrop of Victorian London, the stories explore themes of morality, justice, and the nature of evil through captivating prose and finely drawn characters. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was not only a physician but also an ardent advocate of justice and a keen observer of the human psyche. His fascination with criminal psychology and his experiences in the realms of medicine and law profoundly influenced his storytelling. This background enabled him to craft two of literature's most compelling figures, illuminating the complexities of their psychological interplay. Doyle's cultural context—marked by 19th-century scientific advancement and the emergence of the detective genre—provided fertile ground for his exploration of rationality versus chaos. This book set is a must-read for enthusiasts of detective fiction and those intrigued by the duality of morality embodied in Holmes and Moriarty. Its thought-provoking narratives invite readers to ponder ethical dilemmas that resonate across time, making it an invaluable addition to the library of anyone who appreciates the art of storytelling.

    Meet Detectives Slater and Norman, an unlikely crime-solving duo. They might seem like they have nothing in common, except a love of doughnuts and banter. But they never give up on a case, no matter how tough things get . . . 
     
    Nobody wants a visit from The Night Caller . . . 
     
    When the body of elderly Mr Winter is found in his modest terraced home, still in his pyjamas, Detective Dave Slater quickly decides there’s nothing suspicious to report. The old man fell and hit his head. It’s sad, but these things happen. 
     
    A few days later, Mr Winter’s home is ransacked — and Slater is forced to change his mind. This was no opportunist break-in. Someone was looking for something specific. But what did the lonely old man have in his possession that could cost his life? 
     
    Detective Norman Norman meanwhile is landed with the case from hell. A burglar known as The Night Caller has been targeting the larger houses of Hampshire. And, just Norman’s luck, his latest victim is the former Chief Constable — who makes no secret of his contempt for Norman’s investigative efforts. 
     
    There’s no way The Night Caller would be interested in old Mr Winter’s modest property. But then Slater and Norman uncover a connection . . . and the case takes a disturbing twist. 
     
    To find the answers, the two detectives must dig deep into the past. But are they prepared for the secrets they’re about to uncover? 
     
    This absolutely gripping detective mystery full of twists and turns is perfect for fans of Rachel McLean, J.D. Kirk, Pauline Rowson, Elly Griffiths, Matt Brolly and Simon McCleave.

    “What a fantastic book! I was gripped from the start and read late into the night.” —Goodreads reviewer, five starsA series of bizarre crimes across the English city of Sheffield brings a police detective and a PI together in an increasingly dangerous game . . . Liam Bennet has just quit the force to become a private detective—and to his frustration, his first case is a weird petty crime while his good friend acting DCI Liz Miller is assigned a murder. Two murders, in fact—one recent, the other involving a skeletonized body, but both linked by pictures of dice at the scenes. After Liz is attacked on the job, Liam visits her in hospital and they discover another odd connection: both Liam and the police are looking into teachers who’ve been victimised. Meanwhile, more dice keep turning up—though the crimes connected to them seem utterly random, ranging from the serious to the bizarre. As the two close in on the mystery, will they be able to identify a pattern—or is their luck about to run out?

    But disaster strikes when his canine partner, Duke, is killed in the line of duty. Then, as he slowly recovers from the loss of Duke, disaster strikes again when his wife and daughter are tragically killed in a car accident. As Ben struggles to overcome his own feelings of devastation, he is also faced with the reality of being a sole parent to his eight-year-old son Cooper. 
    He feels he has no choice but to quit the job he loves in order to care for his son, until his boss steps in and presents him with the opportunity to make a fresh start. Still wracked with grief he accepts the challenge to become the first police dog handler to relocate to country Victoria.
