Sinopsis

Sherlock Holmes: A Drama in Four Acts is a stage play co-authored by Arthur Conan Doyle and actor William Gillette, bringing the famous detective to life on the late Victorian stage. In this original story (set in 1880s London), Sherlock Holmes faces off against criminal mastermind Professor Moriarty while juggling a delicate romance and protecting a young woman from peril. The play condenses several Holmes adventures into one suspenseful narrative, featuring iconic elements like the Baker Street sitting room, fiendish traps set by Moriarty, and Holmes's dramatic disguise and escape at a foggy moor. Gillette, who also portrayed Holmes on stage, infused the script with action, humor, and even the immortal line, "Oh, this is elementary, my dear Watson." The drama was wildly popular, solidifying Holmes's image (deerstalker, pipe, and all) in the public imagination. As a published script, it offers a unique, theatrical take on Holmes, full of derring-do, comedic asides by Dr. Watson, and the ultimate triumph of good over evil under the footlights.

    A killer is on the loose, targeting victims with an elusive connection that young barrister Daniel Pitt must deduce before more bodies pile up, in this intricately woven mystery from New York Times bestselling author Anne Perry.  
     
    A serial killer is roaming the streets of London, and Daniel Pitt’s university chum Ian, now a member of the police, is leading the search. The murders happen on rainy nights, but Ian knows that the victims must have something in common  
    beyond the weather. He turns to Miriam fford Croft, Daniel’s good friend and now officially one of the first female pathologists in London, to tap her scientific knowhow to find details he and Daniel have missed.  
     
    With Miriam involved in the murder investigation, Ian passes to Daniel the case of Nicholas Wolford, their former university professor. Charged with assault after reacting violently to an accusation of plagiarism, Wolford, a proud, boastful man,  
    is loath to admit that he was in the wrong. But Daniel must defend him—whether he likes it or not.  
     
    As the murders continue with no clue as to who is committing them, Miriam, Daniel, and Ian find themselves questioning everything. Is the “Rainy-day Slasher,” as the newspapers have dubbed the killer, really just one person? Or have the  
    investigators stumbled into a more complicated web of deceit? The answer may lie closer than anyone could have expected.

    In The Melody of Death, Edgar Wallace weaves a gripping tale of mystery, romance, and deception beneath the gaslit skies of Edwardian London. When a daring jewel heist disrupts the city's elite, a mysterious masked figure intervenes, leaving behind more questions than answers. Gilbert Standerton, a young man tormented by financial anxiety and a cold engagement to the ambitious Edith Cathcart, finds his life entangled with a band of jewel thieves, a haunting street melody, and a string of crimes that unravel the very fabric of high society. 
    As Gilbert drifts between duty and desire, wealth and ruin, his path intersects with a shadowy underworld and a beautiful street musician whose song seems to echo from the past—and possibly foretell his fate. Love, loyalty, and danger intertwine in this moody crime romance from one of Britain’s most prolific thriller writers. 
    Narrated with dramatic flair by Sumara Meers, this lesser-known gem from Edgar Wallace delivers suspense, scandal, and an unforgettable melody that lingers long after the final note.
